What People Are Saying About Forge

  • Market Position & Stability: The March 2, 2026 acquisition by Charles Schwab brings brand scale, distribution, and balance‑sheet support that can enhance perceived stability. Post‑deal positioning to “democratize access” to private markets signals a stronger platform with expanded reach.
  • Mission & Purpose: Work sits at the intersection of fintech, data, and capital markets, aiming to build infrastructure for private‑company share liquidity and pricing. Clear values around being bold, humble, and accountable reinforce a purpose‑led narrative.
  • Career Growth: A relatively lean organization offers broader scope per person, and integration into a much larger parent can open additional internal paths. Company materials emphasize a growth‑minded culture and benefits alongside cross‑functional exposure.
