- excellent training
- good working hours (9 - 5:30)
- flat organization (you get to know the CEO, VPs)
- opportunity to talk to very senior clients
- lots of activities with colleagues
Though only four months in, it is so evident that collaboration, curiosity, and integrity are engraned in the Forrester culture. The training programs are in-depth and beneficial, and the transparency of the executive team is outstanding (and rare!) I feel empowered to grow not just in my current role, but within the company long-term.
Cons
Understandably so, it takes quite some time to fully grasp Forrester's solutions. They are complex! Pairing this knowledge along with the strategies and challenges of our clients is not immediately intuitive. If you are a quick learner, know that there will be a bit of a curve -- but that's all part of the fun.
I became wholly convinced that Forrester was the place that I wanted to work during my interview process. Everyone that I met with at Forrester was smart and engaging, yet the interviews were relaxed and conversational.
I have now been at Forrester for a couple of months and the onboarding experience has been fantastic. Everyone from my manager to my teammates to the executives that I've had the chance to meet with has been 100% supportive and open to answering any questions that I have. While there is a lot to learn, there is no pressure to learn it too quickly or independently. There is a strong understanding that joining a new company can be a long and difficult process. Everyone that I've worked with has made this a smooth process with their patience, support and encouragement.
Cons
The only con I've run into so far is that in my role there are numerous people that I work with internally on a daily or weekly basis. This can be overwhelming when trying to figure out who to speak to about what.
