Pros

Forrester produces phenomenal research and has fantastic analysts.

Cons

The executive team reads/implements none of its own research. They preach all kinds of values and pep rally the staff but don't stand behind any of it or back it up with action. The entire business has been reorganized around one singular goal: pleasing investors. That meant building an unpopular product, turning away customers, mass layoffs every year I've been here, etc. There are clear actions our research recommends to fix the business but our leadership isn't interested. They prefer to make decisions off of "gut feeling" instead of data and research.
