Pros

I've been with Forrester for 2 years now. When I first walked in I figured it would be just like any other job. It wasn’t until I was faced with one of the most personal hardships I hope to ever endure that I realized it was so much more than just a job. So many colleagues became like family, became a support system that I couldn’t have done without. And Forrester as a whole really took care of me. Exactly one year ago today I had to make the very difficult decision to leave my position with Forrester to tend to personal matters. I didn’t think I’d have the chance to come back. I was only gone for 2 months and I had the opportunity to come back, and my Forrester family welcomed me right back in. Although we spend so much of our lives at work, It’s pretty rare to find a job where you feel a part of something bigger. I couldn’t have gotten through the past two years without the support of my fellow Forresterites.

Cons

There are few cons to Forrester worth mentioning.

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
