      Pros

      Good company culture and people. Great place to get exposure to multiple industries, topics, analysts, marketing research, marketing techniques, Fortune 500 clients, and contacts.

      Cons

      - Limited growth and career opportunities. - Path to promotions is sketchy at best and never clear. - Senior Management tends to live in their own world and never practice what they preach. - Unless you get hired from the outside to a certain position, the only way to grow , get promoted, or get into other roles are if people leave or move elsewhere within the company (which isn't very often). - A lot of managers (including senior management) aren't qualified to run the company and often have convoluted and opposing strategies. - Your ideas will likely be ignored unless someone in a management or principal analyst position comes up with it. - If you save the company millions or save a million dollar account or two, the company won't care because according to them, "you are just doing the job you were hired to do".

      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

      Pros

      Smart people work here, work-life balance is ideal if you have a good manager.

      Cons

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