Pros

The majority of people is friendly and supportive, Forrester promotes a culture of collaboration and camaraderie. You will find that they are open to all ideas independently of your role in the company, therefore, since the beginning of your employment, you can add your two cents to the discussion if you have something worth saying. Life/work balance is quite good with some punctual peaks of "too much work" from time to time. If you are curious and smart, I totally recommend this company.

Cons

Long distances and time differences don't make things easy sometimes, it's not unheard of people from non-US offices feeling a bit disconnected from the HQ. Having said that, they are actually working hard to create more seamless communications between all offices. Some strategies and objectives that are tailored for the US are not fitting for EMEA and APAC.

Pros

Forrester is a truly rewarding place to work. I feel like I make a meaningful difference every day, both for our clients and within the organization. The colleagues here are exceptional. They are smart, collaborative, and genuinely supportive. I’m constantly learning from a talented group of people who care deeply about the quality of their work and the impact it has. The culture encourages thoughtful problem-solving, professional growth, and doing work that matters.

Cons

The most challenging aspect right now is the current business performance, which can create uncertainty and added pressure across teams. At times, this environment can impact workloads, decision-making speed, and overall predictability.

Thank you for your many years of contribution to Forrester ! I’m really glad to hear how strongly you feel about your colleagues and the impact of the work. It's wonderful to see the combination of thoughtful problem-solving, collaboration, and meaningful outcomes reflected in your experience. You’re also right to call out the challenges of the current business environment. Periods of change and performance pressure can create uncertainty, and I know that can impact workload, pace, and predictability. I am confident we are on the right path towards growth this year and it wouldnt have been possible without great colleagues like you. Thank you again for your candid feedback, it means a great deal coming from someone with such deep experience at Forrester. Jobina Gonsalves Chief People Officer
