Pros
The quality of the employees is top-notch. I feel very lucky to have met and had the pleasure of working with extremely intelligent, engaged, dedicated people. There is some very interesting work done at Forrester, and I feel like I learn something new every day.
Cons
If you scroll through the comments, you can see there have been a lot of changes. These changes have significantly impacted the average workers' day to day experience. On top of that, the announcement was handled abruptly and quite poorly. Yes, it's great that the maternity (and hopefully paternity) leave is good! I'm happy we support parents! But what about freezing cost-of-living raises or pausing merit promotions? These are valid concerns, and employees should not be shamed for expressing their concerns. I am proud to work at Forrester. I also can acknowledge that reading the recent barrage of negative reviews can be demoralizing. However, I think it is contradictory to criticize Forresterites for asking questions when we are a part of an organization that claims to be "a leading global market research company."
