Pros
Forrester has a wonderful heritage based on its Cambridge roots and heady days of building an exciting stable of analysts and research playbooks. Many kind, interesting and intelligent co-workers in Research who bring a much needed calm reassurance.
Cons
Notwithstanding HR’s concerted effort to organize Glassdoor activities to encourage positive reviews, there was a growing and pervasive sense over the past 5 years that the senior leadership is stuck in a kind of Groundhog Day scenario. Every year a new slate of senior sales / consulting leaders are introduced by George who proclaims his full support for the new and improved GTM model. But the LT all run/act scared, united by their anxiety of what the CEO will do next. George respects and shows a kind of doting kinship to the analysts. Everyone else knows they are expendable which generates rampant instability and turnover that doesn’t just wreak havoc on Sales, but erodes the kind of collaboration so vital in this business. There is a certain carpet-wearing exec whose abuse of others is legendary.
