Pros

The people I work with are fantastic. Supportive, kind, and caring. I have a manager who cares about my overall well being.

Cons

The past few months have greatly changed my view of Forrester. When I first started working here I felt cared for, supported and heard by the company. Like other reviews mention, the rapid changes have left me personally feeling a lot of distrust for those in charge. Any concerns that are brought up by employees in company meetings, all hand calls, etc, feel glossed over and barely answered or addressed. The fact that negative Glassdoor reviews are posted every single day is a testament to the current tone and overall feel of the employees. I feel like I am working for a completely different employer than I did when I started. Forrester used to pride itself on authenticity and transparency, but now just tries to sweep it's employee's thoughts, opinions and concerns under the rug without addressing them.

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
