Pros
1. Forrester is a respected research and consulting company that gives employees legitimate and useful skills. 2. People are are very smart and consistently raise the bar. 3. Employees are given the freedom to work from almost anywhere. 4. A quarterly and yearly review methodology that helps employees develop individually and professionally.
Cons
1. The pay! Forrester relies on its name and reputation to attract qualified and smart people, so it doesn't care that its employees have to scrape by to pay bills. The majority of the analysts and higher-ups could make double anywhere else (what's stopping you!?!) 2. Training. There's just not enough training for research professionals. Employees are asked to learn things on their own time. 3. Socially awkward employees. Because so many of Forrester's research professionals are way too smart for their own good, they are very socially awkward. It's hard to hold a normal conversation with many of them, and no one ever says anything about it. It's an extremely strange work environment. 4. Work expectations are too high. When you have to work every night and weekend to meet your goals, it's probably too much. The work is not evenly spread and employees are asked to generate too much revenue.
