Pros

Culture. When everyone said how great the culture is during my interview process, I was like, yeah whatever. They weren't kidding. This company culture really is extraordinary. Everyone is collaborative and helpful across every team I've worked with. A huge part of the culture starts from the executive team. Every other company I've worked for had a divide between the C-suites and the rest of the org... not here. They lead with transparency and truly listen to what employees have to say. I actually feel like my voice matters to them. During COVID, decisions regarding working from home and travel restrictions were made quickly with clear communication. They've even given us a couple extra mental health days because they understand the challenges everyone is facing both at work and in their personal lives. They've taken a stand against the injustices that are being brought to light in our world and have given our Forrester community a place to openly dialogue and share resources on how we can be better. I appreciate that the executive team is willing to be flexible - if something isn't working or needs to change, they change it rather than falling back into the "that's the way we've always done it" mentality. I have been genuinely impressed with this company and the people in it.

Cons

None. Really. None at all.

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

Morale is low, leadership is extremely out of touch with the sentiments of the workforce.
