      Pros

      Amazing people, flexible schedules, constant learning, absolutely fantastic benefits, generous vacation time, great location,

      Cons

      Low pay, miserable raises, difficulty in career advancement on the low and middle ends, in some instances there is a serious disconnect between upper management and employees (decisions are made at the expense of the people, not to their benefit). I've been in multiple positions at the company and have always felt an "us vs. them" mentality when it comes to workers vs. management, even though company 'culture' is a "we" mentality. Lots of growing pains as the company transitions from small/mid size to large.

      Pros

      Great culture, financial success, clear strategy, smart people. Whether people agree with the direction or not, the company seems to know where it's going. Acquisition of JupiterResearch should provide a big boost to the Marketing and Strategy side of the business. Increasing investment in people -- development, etc. Stock keeps moving in the right direction!

      Cons

      Compensation not top of the market. Fast growth has led to some discontinuities -- but all things considered, the culture and the values are holding up well as the company scales.

      Pros

      Forrester has a collaborative environment, unique culture, career growth. This is an environment that supports individual employee development. I always feel that my voice is heard. The executive team is very visible. Great work-life balance. It's also a very transparent company- you always know where you stand, what you are doing right (or wrong) and what you need to do to get to the next level in your career. Promotions are fair. Compensation is fair. Though we have a selective interview process, Forrester hires great people. The work is interesting. The people are great.

      Cons

      Company still growing fast.. there are growing pains, but I think we're doing a good job of figuring it out.
