- Current Employee, more than 10 years★★★★★Featured Review
Pros
Many people spend their careers looking for a culture like the one we have at Forrester. I am surrounded by smart, caring colleagues who trust one another to do the right thing. They have my back (and I have theirs). Most of all, you have a voice - people are genuinely interested in what you have to say and what you bring to the table. That starts with the Executive Team - they're incredibly accessible and interested in who you are as a person. Why do I stay? My values are the company's values: honesty, integrity, quality. The Anywhere Work policy gives me the flexibility to decide how I can be most productive. It's clear the company is being thoughtful about what the future of work might look like.
Cons
We could move faster. If the start-up pace is your jam, you might be frustrated here.

Customer Experience is improving, but Employee Experience lags significantly
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Anywhere Work policy is flexible Opportunity to work with intelligent colleagues DEI is improving over time Concern for client satisfaction is very good
Cons
Some departments are very poorly managed - half the C-level execs have little to no emotional intelligence. Focus is on output vs. quality. Management talent is truly mixed - doing a better job at manager training but there is a level of fear at mid-management levels - they won't push back on senior mgmt when requests are unreasonable. Attrition seems to be rising - not unusual these days, but a cause for concern. Sales and research goals do not align. Work/life balance varies significantly within company - some teams are satisfied, but many are not. Lack of concern over burnout.
