Forrester Research – “Will make you appreciate your next job”

Pros

Good benefits, some interesting work, everyone is helpful and supportive

Cons

There is no real transition to analyst from RA. Compensation is terrible, you can't expect to hire smart, motivated people from good colleges for under $40k and expect to keep them.

Advice to Senior Management

Fix the starting salary and offer an analyst training program if you want to really develop good analysts
