Forrester sells bathroom monitors

Pros

It was a great place to work. We used to help clients make sense of the world and do their jobs better.

Cons

George has lost touch with the customer. He's investing in money in a bathroom cleanliness business (Feedback Now) and trying to scale a marketing project management business (Sirius Decisions) to clients that don't want it. There are about a dozen people with "Chief" in their title (sometimes multiple in the same department) and they don't work together. Product stealth hates everyone, Sales is a revolving door, Finance just complains about the situation in Ukraine, Human Resources fires people, Marketing has no budget, Legal does something, Research is still full of people who can't do real jobs and few of the leadership team have done much besides appeal to George's vanity.
