Pros

fun place to work, good benefits, if you got the right account manager you had more opportunity to learn and move up

Cons

ramp was lacking, they kind of just throw you in while explaining all the wrong things and none of the useful information you need to really start doing your job well. too many useless meetings and people to report to

Thanks for taking the time to write us a review. Your remarks touch upon work that has been done over the last year to integrate Team Leads into our training, so a new hire can learn first hand what to expect in the role from an experienced ADM. Additionally, I'm happy to report that through continued coaching and development by ADM managers, we have promoted 26 ADMs in the past 2 years. We are always looking for better ways to see success, and appreciate all input that make us check in on our performance.

Pros

I am absolutely loving Forrester. The company's culture and the individuals that work here are all fantastic (seriously I have not met one jerk since starting here in March). The company cares a lot about its employees through a balanced work day (I've stayed here twice past 5:30pm in 10 months), and fun perks (quarterly parties, full instrument set-up in the cafe, on site gym). In regards to my position: I work exclusively with ad agencies under the Premiere Accounts Group. I help to engage them to use Forrester's resources and products that they have purchased, make sure they renew, and pitch some custom additional projects at extra cost throughout the year. It's a lot of fun to work with all these strategy teams on new projects for pitches and existing clients and align them with Forrester's research, data, and analysts. I have a fantastic manager and a fantastic team that I work with. The others that are in my position are always collaborating and helping each other out. We have weekly meetings with the whole group, with my agency group, and one-on-one with my manager. I've never felt so much support at a job.

Cons

While a beautiful building with great amenities, the location of the office is rough. It's right by Alewife station so the commute from anywhere other than Arlington, Belmont, Somerville, and parts of Watertown is hell.
