Pros

It's in times like the ones we live in that you truly appreciate what makes a great company culture: empathy and respect, openness and transparency, collaboration and innovation. Forrester boasts being a customer-obsessed company, which they are, but that also includes a deep care for employees. Of course, the standards of quality are very high, but the work environment is such that you can be your best at what you do. The leadership team is inspiring, but approachable, managers (mostly) empower their teams to do what is best for the firm and our clients, and work policies are relatively flexible to accommodate each individual employee's preferences. People here are smart, benevolent and always ready to help. I am always shocked and horrified when hearing from friends and family about the type of "a-holes" they need to cope with at work. You won't find these people here... At least, I have not come across any of them in more than 10 years working at Forrester.

Cons

There are always things any organization can improve on. For Forrester, this is about speed, innovation and risk taking. This is also about becoming more of a global company. But here again, I feel that we have made tremendous progress over the past couple of years. Even more flexible work policies would be a plus.

Integrity is a priority here

Pros

Forrester is simply just a good company all-around. They go above and beyond to make sure their employees are taken care of, and re-assured of their importance. I wasn't finding much success at first, and Management has gone out of their to make sure I know they've invested in me, and that they will do everything to help me succeed, and to not stress over my sales numbers. Employee development is truly a priority to Management. Also, as an aside... I went to submit an expense report, and they denied it because I wasn't claiming the maximum available amount I've never had a company tell me they wanted to pay me more money than I thought I was entitled to. That's true integrity right there

Cons

It's hard to be good at a sales job here because there is SO much product knowledge to learn. You have to really work at it.
