Pros

I've met some of the most amazing people during my time at Forrester, but that's about all I can say. The flexibility was great as well.

Cons

Underpaid. No transparency. Terrible product roll out... these are a few of many cons I could list off. Forrester went extremely downhill in the past 8 months, faster than I could have imagined. I truly loved this company until a ton of new leadership was introduced and now feels like a toxic and cold workplace. The CEO and executive leadership definitely ate their words when they said during a previous global call that there would be no more layoffs... and bam. LAYOFFS. It's only going to get worse from here and it feels like Forrester has dug themselves a huge hole they won't be able to come out of for a long time. Beware - you're just a number at this company.

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
