Friendly interviewer for initial call. Didn't go on too long. They ask salary expectations and want they can offer and to talk through your CV briefly/what experience you have in relation to role.

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Forrester in Jul 2023

Interview

Very negative experience with this company. I was emailed to choose a date for an initial interview (a week in advance). 5 minutes before the appointment, I received the notification that the meeting had been cancelled. I emailed the recruiter to ask about it, and she neither replied to my email nor showed up. A week later I received an email saying that my application was not going to be considered, as the meeting hadn't been scheduled at all.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in London, England

Negative Experience
Average Interview
Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Forrester (London, England) in Apr 2023

Interview

Virtual interview with the HR manager and hiring manager. It was very normal and, I thought, positive. Good overview of the company and a lot of focus on how the company is 'different' to others and really 'cares about people'. They said they liked me/my experience, I was sold and eager to hear next steps... but they ghosted me. I tried following up a couple of times to no avail. Really disappointing given how much they said they were good people are cared about their employees. I would have been fine with a 'no' - fair enough - but to ghost people is really unfair, particularly in the current climate.

Interview Questions
  • Talk through your experience, they picked out a few points/projects on my CV to talk through. Just the usual stuff, nothing out of the ordinary.

As my first job post-college graduation, I didn't have a lot of expectations or prior experiences to compare. I felt the interview process for the entry position was communicative, virtual, and relaxed.

Interview Tips

QC Specialist II

When someone says “We are eager to fill this position, we have no timeline but it should not drag out,” what are the chances I’m selected? This was at the third round interview, last Tue (5d ago) when I was told I should hear from HR next. The job was posted 30+ days ago. I applied for it on 10/22 and the interview process started 11/6 with an HR screening phone call.

Cloud Performance Engineering Lead

Workday interview tips needed. The role I am applying to is a site reliability engineer role. I am not sure what to expect. Of course it’s a technical role so I do expect those questions. I am wondering if they go extra hard and how many rounds? I read somewhere that they do 5 rounds. Either way any tips are@welcome.
