Pros

- Interesting work if you're a go-getter. Forrester is NOT a meritocracy and corporate rules incent treating everyone the same so you have to put in a lot of energy to develop yourself. - Very good internal and external relationships. Like work caliber, there are quite a few amazing people here will realize we're all on this sinking ship together and they were great resources that I'm proud to call friends now that I've moved on.

Cons

It all trickles down from sr. management. - Lumbering bureaucracy that has resulted in restrictive development, a sorry excuse for an old boy's clubs (strange departures and favoritism), and laughable employee treatment/morale - Blundering decisions - sweeping changes without visible metrics, testing, or controls - Questionable research quality; there are gems but some of the things that get published are - Insulting compensation/incentive structure. You're not impoverished but you will receive much more at competitors/similar positions.
