      A Fun Place with great people but .....

      Pros

      The people are fun and smart and it's a social place to work. The benefits are excellent. Management is pretty open. Very good place for young people to start a career. Over 80% of employees are under 30

      Cons

      Carreer path is not good at all and no way to advance in sales. If your in sales you dont get promotions and the pay is very low compaired to competitors. Management is always looking to pay sales less commission each year and the only people that get stock are directors. It's an old boys club and you get promoted if you know the right people.

      Horrible place to work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great reputation of the Forrester name will help your resume. Good benefits. Flexibility to work from home, even though presence in the Cambridge political scene is key for getting promoted.

      Cons

      People are horrible, non-collegial, and often non professional. Analysts have huge egos and they often lash out at colleagues, and especially at more junior people. There is lots of criticism, most of it petty and un-constructive, and no praise. There is no collaboration; in fact, teams are set up in such a way that they compete for the same revenue from their clients. Client needs and quality of research are not a priority, and the client experience is poor as a result. Groups are too siloed for such a small company. Management is poor and and demotivating. Morale among employees is low. There are no clear growth paths, even though there is a complicated process that supposedly lays out career paths. Noone follows that process though. Salaries are low compared to the market place. Stress level is high and you are expected to work evenings and weekends. Management is random.
