Pros

-Some of the most intelligent people you'll meet work here, yet they're still friendly and easy-going. -Executives are VERY accessible. CEO, CMO, CSO, CFO, etc. interact with people all the time, remember you by name. -Want to talk to top-level executives at major global companies? You will, and it's exhilarating. -Solid pay and great opportunity for growth and promotion. -Cambridge office is state of the art - brand new, lots of natural light, free coffee/espresso, ping-pong, foosball, full band setup provided (guitar, bass, drums, piano). -Literally everyone you run into is smiling and loves to be here, even during times of stress. -Working from home is always an option - very sensitive to personal needs, especially for commuters. -If you're a bright, innovative person, you'll fit in great.

Cons

-Get ready to work - not necessarily a real 'con,' but this is not a company where you can coast. -Very long learning curve - again, not exactly a 'con,' but the training can seem endless at times. The Forrester ecosystem requires it. -Change happens a lot - company messaging, vision, mission, values constantly changing, but with positive, forward-thinking intentions.

Pros

Phenomenal team spirit in the office - we have each others backs. The feeling to actually contribute to a client's success. A lot of freedom as long as the results are as expected.

Cons

Anyone who doesn't work in Cambridge has basically fallen off the face of the earth for senior management - they don't care, they don't disseminate information. Pressure is applied globally to deliver against the ambitious goals but support is only really provided in the HQ. If overall performances fall short at all, no bonus will be paid company-wide - not exactly motivating.
