Forrester Reviews

Pros

Agility, transparency and rapid positive movement led by executives listening intently to clients and employees in the most challenging business environment in almost 100 years. A place full of smart and considerate people who value dignity, respect and creating impactful top quality work products. A great brand in the research & information landscape.

Cons

Like with other companies hatched there, the Cambridge roots carry some regional, cultural and other elements that are not universal to those who have traditionally operated outside that circle of significantly academic environs. This is changing.

Pros

Thought leadership, research and consulting across C Level and Sr. Level Executives supporting Business, Technology, Sales, Marketing and Product Mgmt Best Practices. Impactful work with engaged customers, very rewarding when you have a meaningful outcome for clients

Cons

Can be challenging to maintain engagement and marshal resources to support customers.

Pros

You are valued, Fabulous Team, Passions are embraced, Mobility is a reality, Culture is Inclusive, Warm, Fabulous Family benefits Great vacation schedules , Amazing Jam Sessions and Music Culture

Cons

Miss not being together with the pandemic and not seeing the band named conference rooms - No cons

Pros

Real attention to diversity and inclusion, as well as employee wellbeing

Cons

Poor response to individual grievances

Pros

I've worked at FORR for 3 years, and everyday I wakeup excited for my job. I love the work we do for our clients and the way we make an actual difference. Other good things (in no particular order) include: Forr handled the pandemic well. Leadership communicates often and transparently. My team is full of kind, hardworking, and smart people... NO EGO! Great work life balance Realistic expectations and rewards. Learning culture allows you to explore.

Cons

Pay and benefits aren't as sexy as a tech company, but you stay for the culture and the work, not to become billionaires.

Pros

The CEO/Founder George Colony sets a great tone. Forrester is filled with very smart and hard working people. The firm has earned its great reputation.

Cons

Analyst role is very demanding, so much client interaction and demands from sales, elsewhere, that there is little time to actually do research and write reports (only about 1/3 of my time is spent on the latter). Time management challenges and danger of burnout are major issues.

Pros

A great learning experience. Smart people.

Cons

Underpaid which leads to the feeling of very undervalued. It’s extremely difficult work and the pay is well below where it should be. Disappointing.
