Forrester Research Associate reviews

not great for junior positions, way of working is very old school and laidback. very few peers are there at junior positions and there is less competition. the RA position is more of operations, it does have research components but those might be irrelevant to those without much practical experience. very small size of operations in certain countries may also make things dull. things tend to remain monotonous over a period of time.

The largest cons for me have been supporting a difficult analyst, the layoffs creating instability, and below average pay. Of course, being in a supportive role you probably aren't going to have 3 easy going people to work with but it created a lot of frustration for me and I felt like I wasn't getting to progress in that research area. The layoffs are making me worried about job stability and Boston is an expensive city to live in!
