Pros

- good compensation package for sales - opportunities to meet the executives - 2 good weeks of training in the States

Cons

- A small company which is trying to wear bigger shoes. They hire people in Europe to sell but the analysts are very much NA focus and don't know anything about strong local players - Too pricey - a confusing vision. Forrester started as an IT company but now is role-based focussed and also offer marketing and serve other roles that have nothing to do with technology - A company which doesn't know anything about new business development. All internal - procedures are for account managers - No investment outside NA -No career path - They thrive to be consultative but the reality is that they only focus on productivity and results. - Poor management
