What it’s like working at Forge:

• 100% distributed with flexible hours. Live and work anywhere you want. Set the hours you want to work. We believe if you hire great people and set clear goals, you can stay out of their way.

• Play games. We believe that in order to build a great product for our users, we have to experience what they experience, which means playing games! We reimburse all purchases of games, consoles, etc. so you can get your game on.
• Eat well. As a distributed company, we don’t have the luxury of having an on-site cafeteria, but we reimburse up to $400/month for meal-related expenses.
