      Pros

      This is a great place to learn. You work with incredible smart people who are always sharing their knowledge on topics. I have learned far more than I could have anticipated since starting here. Some of the best people I have worked with are at Forrester. Work/life balance has bee very good at times.

      Cons

      Over the last few years it has been very tough to stay motivated with the consistent bad news of missing targets, valued employees leaving or being let go, and the difficult market. Forrester is not responsible for everything but it has been tough to hear the same message for the last few years and not see the positive results enthusiastically preached.

      A good company going through tough times

      Principal analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      You get to work on really interesting challenges every day, and our research and advice helps clients make better decisions. Colleagues are incredibly smart and guided at all times by integrity, kindness, and a desire to help.

      Cons

      A misguided, hamfisted approach to RTO has been weighing down morale for a couple of years. There’s a culture of fear in place right now, and people are deliberately not speaking up because they see that others who did ended up on RIF lists.

      Pros

      The Offerings, analysts, and consultants.

      Cons

      Lack of mentorship, training, and team synergy to execute a sales cycle beyond selling “magazine” type subscriptions.
