Pros

-The people are very nice and welcoming - very hardworking -Brand recognition

Cons

Management has absolutely no idea where to take this company even when they have built a brand that can compete in the market. They have changed the product set 3 times this past year and somehow cant even develop a one pager on offerings to show clients. Not only does it make the job hard, but you look like you don't even know what your company covers in the industry. Anywhere work also turned into 2 days a week with barely any notice but get this.. you don't get your own desk, and the conference rooms book up all day so its hard to work even in the office. If you want personal growth at a company, don't even bother. Company struggling and they stopped promotions which would have only been the only hope for your incredibly low compensation package. Don't even bother right now with Forrester.

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
