Pros
I have met some of the best people while working here. I truly feel blessed by the paths I've crossed. I had no idea what kind of world I was entering when I started here, but I learned an incredible amount. I'll list in bullet points the pros: - teammates/coworkers - flexibility - the initial support for moving in different parts of the org - internal promotions - clients you work with - overall knowledge obtained in different industries
Cons
The Forrester I joined in the beginning is not the Forrester when I left. Where do I even begin.....I do not think Forrester practices what they preach selling customer obsession. I do not think they are customer obsessed in the slightest. I bent over backwards to get things for my clients and on a rare occasion it was approved. I think the combination of covid, the economy flailing, and new product was a recipe for disaster. Read the room. Although there were initial plans for the new product to be released, I think understanding what the clients need in this moment of time is MOST important and how you will gain retention, but what do I know...I'm only an AM1 whose opinion doesn't matter. I am so tired of people being ok with things getting pushed under the rug. Our EX is a joke. Maybe they should read a report or two of their own. Employees are not made to feel supported. There is no transparency in the company. Things are handled very immaturely. Forrester is pushing out all of its amazing people, and I hope they start to see it. LISTEN TO YOUR PEOPLE ON THE FRONT LINE. They can give you the real answers. Live a day in their shoes.
