Pros

Lots of great people were hired by the recruiting team. You can tell that really sharp people were working with you and that was appealing. Led to a really strong team culture within the Nashville office. Decent vacation and time off.

Cons

For starters, the pay structure is horrible. Forrester keeps half of all commissions until you hit a certain threshold and with their business being very Q4 heavy, you likely wont get paid until the end of the year. Poor work from home structure, not even sure why they have it in place when there are so many caveats to it. A couple of the managers in Nashville are extremely unprofessional and gossipy. Product is lagging in the marketplace, however many people there have really bad little brother syndrome when they are compared to Gartner. Bad 401K plan, where you only are fully vested after 4 years.

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
