Pros

Each day is different Your colleagues are smart and your ideas are challenged Analysts have a decent amount of support Forrester has a great reputation in the market

Cons

No cross-role collaboration Employees are measured very closely - a very numbers driven organization Over-worked and under-paid No bonus last 2 quarters Management creates ambitious plans and lofty goals that can never be met Not open to change - it's just the "Forrester way" Very HQ (Boston) centric/ focused Hard work is is never rewarded unless it hits the bottom line Sales will only sell analysts if they know who they are and if they brown nose them. They are told to take sales out for drinks all of the time.

Pros

Phenomenal team spirit in the office - we have each others backs. The feeling to actually contribute to a client's success. A lot of freedom as long as the results are as expected.

Cons

Anyone who doesn't work in Cambridge has basically fallen off the face of the earth for senior management - they don't care, they don't disseminate information. Pressure is applied globally to deliver against the ambitious goals but support is only really provided in the HQ. If overall performances fall short at all, no bonus will be paid company-wide - not exactly motivating.
