Pros

One of the best decisions in my life is joining Forrester! This company changed me as a better person, better in selling, gave opportunity to grow and excel and is a platform to meet one of the best and brightest in the world! I learnt the aspects of global business and I am continuously learning to be a humble colleague/leader. Got an opportunity to travel globally. I have/had one of the best leaders that anyone could ask. They inspire, challenge and mentor every step along the way. Covid made the company even more empathetic and caring. Forrester is known for its culture and its very evident in the people they bring on board and the trust that is installed to do the right things. I've had many ex-colleagues who tell me even today that they miss the culture the most. Overall, Forrester is a company that is striving to be better everyday and I am happy to be a part of this journey.

Cons

Like any other corporate firm, there are growth pains in Forrester too. There needs to be plan and vision to localize resources in respective regions. It still feel a very HQ (USA) driven rather than global practices. Also we could do better in speed of execution, innovation and risk taking.

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
