      If it weren't for the great people at the rank-and-file level, this place would be a train wreck. - Vice President Forrester Employee Review

      Pros

      What makes Forrester a great place is the analyst work and the rank-and-file co-workers. The analysts are smart, interesting, fun and caring people. And probably too smart for upper management. Most analysts are eager to collaborate and exchange ideas. Of course, that assumes that (a) we'd have time to do so, and (b) we'd be encouraged to do so. So whatever collaboration goes on is despite corporate culture design.

      Cons

      Upper management, all the way up through the COO and CEO, are disorganized and reactive. Some key people in key upper management positions have little background, experience, or skills for their roles. Top-down communication is horrendous. Some of the upper management team has no clue on devise an execution plan.

      Pros

      Forrester is a truly rewarding place to work. I feel like I make a meaningful difference every day, both for our clients and within the organization. The colleagues here are exceptional. They are smart, collaborative, and genuinely supportive. I’m constantly learning from a talented group of people who care deeply about the quality of their work and the impact it has. The culture encourages thoughtful problem-solving, professional growth, and doing work that matters.

      Cons

      The most challenging aspect right now is the current business performance, which can create uncertainty and added pressure across teams. At times, this environment can impact workloads, decision-making speed, and overall predictability.

      Thank you for your many years of contribution to Forrester ! I’m really glad to hear how strongly you feel about your colleagues and the impact of the work. It's wonderful to see the combination of thoughtful problem-solving, collaboration, and meaningful outcomes reflected in your experience. You’re also right to call out the challenges of the current business environment. Periods of change and performance pressure can create uncertainty, and I know that can impact workload, pace, and predictability. I am confident we are on the right path towards growth this year and it wouldnt have been possible without great colleagues like you. Thank you again for your candid feedback, it means a great deal coming from someone with such deep experience at Forrester. Jobina Gonsalves Chief People Officer

      Pros

      Smart people work here, work-life balance is ideal if you have a good manager.

      Cons

      Morale is low, leadership is extremely out of touch with the sentiments of the workforce.
