Toxic Work Environment - Anonymous employee Forrester Employee Review

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am sorry to hear that your time at Forrester was disappointing. I review all exit interview feedback within Leadership Boards and can say that your experience is not consistent with our data regarding culture and career development. Many of the reviews here on Glassdoor call out collaboration with colleagues, great client relationships, and high ethics and integrity as bright spots of the Forrester experience. This is consistent with our internal employee culture surveys, exit interviews, and peer recognition award process we conduct annually on the Leadership Boards Team. Over the last two years more than 30% of our Leadership Boards team has enjoyed a promotion and salary increase. Half of my leadership team came from other parts of Forrester or outside the organization. We offer onboarding and training for new hires and pair every new hire with a peer mentor. Over the last twelve months our team has participated in monthly skills training on a wide range of topics have been engaged in Design Thinking Workshops to innovate our customer experience. And, there is more work to do. Flexible career paths for non-client facing roles and more team-based goals have been cited as areas for improvement. We added new job levels and special project teams to allow employees to stretch outside their job and explore various career paths. The team recently provided keen insights that resulted in a fresh approach to goals and recognition for 2018. We are listening and growing together. I’m sorry that this was not a good fit for you and wish you the best of luck in the future. Colleen Donahue-Bean Senior Vice President, Leadership Boards
