Pros
My team and my immediate manager are fantastic and do their best to clean up the mess left by senior management and the executive team.
Cons
When I interviewed for Forrester over a year ago, 'Anywhere Work' and the company culture was the main selling point. There was a companywide understanding that business decisions are based off research and internal employee surveys, and all these decisions will be made transparently and respectfully. The handling of decisions over the last two weeks have left a sour taste in my mouth- layoffs were announced, along with no annual pay increase, promotion pause and forced in-office presence. The executive team offered us a grand total of 10 minutes of question time in our company meeting today. There has been no further communication on how employee questions are going to be answered (and there is a lot of them), and it feels like employees have been left to drown. Despite demanding transparency from us, the executive team have refused to outline the actual data that has led to these decisions (not just quoting 'our internal survey said..."- show us the ACTUAL data!). What kind of research company is this? The employees in this company have dedicated their lives to data and academic transparency. Why can't our executive team and CEO do the same?
