Pros

The company has a better reputation than it currently deserves and good name recognition. So it's still not a bad company to have on your resume (at least not yet).

Cons

The current unimaginative management team is gutting the ranks of the researchers and few outstanding people remain. The good people will continue to leave. The recession is bound to make things even worse there as the inexperienced managers (most of them have never worked anywhere else) panic and take increasingly illogical steps to stem the inevitable loss of customers that will ensue.

Pros

Smart people---The research departments attract thoughtful and social nerds. That is a good thing. Unique and creative work---There are not too many business jobs, where one can do nothing but step back and develop innovative ideas to communicate to their industry peers. It is a nice mix between academics, performing and consulting.

Cons

Forrester seriously underpays. I don't understand how they manage to attract quality people. They do have a problem with retention. Also, when you are young it is a good place to get experience, but at some point you will yearn for hands on experience.
