Pros

Working with Forrester provides exposure to the industry, the opportunity to build relationships with colleagues from a wide variety of organizations, a team atmosphere. Also, senior management that is not afraid to give a new strategy a chance to succeed over time after achieving a necessary level of buy-in from stakeholders. Performance metrics are explicit and well-defined, so there are no surprises about what is expected.

Cons

Like any other company, there is a lot of competition among team members, and not all of it contributes to the success of the team as a whole.

Pros

You're always surrounded by bright, interesting people. Employee policies, except for compensation, are pretty sane. The constant changes of direction on the part of management mean that you will never be bored.

Cons

Near total abandonment of European workforce and the below inflation pay 'rises' (on a salary well below the market) means morale is low and employees are leaving en masse. I completely agree with the comment of 'smart people, poorly managed.' No motivation to work as a team.

Pros

you will have significant responsibility early on in your career and the quarterly bonus/performance management system is good for getting specific quantifiable achievements and performance feedback

Cons

it is very sales-driven. because of the quarterly cycles there is not much room for new ideas
