Difficult Interview
Application

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Forrester

Interview

HR interview, Hiring Manager Interview, 3 coworker interviews and then 30min presentation + written assignment. You will complete all of this (30-40hrs of work) and then receive an automated message from an HR person you hadn't even spoken to. If you prompt further for any advice/reasoning behind the decision you will receive a second message that appears to be copy and pasted and provides no insight.

Inside Sales Representative 1

As someone who’s trying to switch to Tech I was approached by Gartner - the above compensation would be a big upgrade. Is Gartner a credible place to build experience in Tech?

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Forrester (Boston, MA) in Apr 2022

Interview

Applied online and was contacted by a recruiter. After speaking with the recruiter, I spoke with the Hiring Manager and 3 other team members on the team I would be working with. Lastly, I took a brief skill assessment. One of the best interview processes I've experienced (although it is quite long). Everyone I spoke with genuinely wanted to get to know me, my previous experiences, and career aspirations. The recruiter stayed in efficient contact with me throughout the entire experience.

Does anyone have any insight into the Accenture ZBT team? I am northeast US. I have interviewed for both M&A, and growth strategy, but they think ZBT is the best fit for me. I have 5 YOE and would join as experience hire consultant. How is WLB/interesting work/is comp similar to strat? I could adversely also take offers from RSM or Forrester strategy teams (external facing). I welcome any feedback

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Forrester

Interview

I was contacted via LinkedIn by the recruiter and was asked to send over my CV. I had one interview/initial screening with the recruiter and three interviews with the manager, an analyst and a research associate. The last step was an assignment that contained some data analysis and writing exercises.

Interview

I scheduled a phone interview with a recruiter, who cancelled 30 minutes before the interview. They emailed me suggesting a new date and time and I replied stating that the new time worked for me. I asked if they would be sending a new invitation or if I should schedule the new time for them. The recruiter never replied and was a no-show for the call. I emailed again, at which point the recruiter said I need to reschedule time with them. I'm not sure why it's my responsibility to manage your calendar, especially when you needed to cancel and asked me about a specific new time, but fine. I rescheduled. The recruiter cancelled the second rescheduled phone interview about an hour before, saying that the hiring manager was no longer considering applications for the interview. Overall the process was disorganized and frustrating. I won't be wasting time with Forrester again.

Has anyone worked for Forrester as TEI consultant or heard about Forrester consulting? Curious if it is solid experience to have, and noticed the team is very tenured. Forrester

Interview

Forrester contacted me via one of there senior recruiters Kristina. I had a great time interviewing with all the members of the team that I would work for. The interview process consisted of: - a screening interview with the recruiter -a phone interview with the Hiring manager - a quick assessment to follow -another follow up interview with the Hiring Manager -then an interview with the team (usually 3 hours long), will usually focus on behavioral questions Forrester's whole process was professional and courteous. And having a dedicated recruiter made a difficult series of successive interviews easier. The whole cast at Forrester was one of the most dedicated and passionate employees I have seen. From senior managers to new professionals. I thoroughly enjoyed the process.

Interview Questions
  • Mostly Behavioral Questions and Questions related to your previous experience.

Application

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Forrester (Cambridge, MA) in Apr 2021

Interview

Lengthy process, but seemingly well worth it. Interview process flowed pretty well, where you - began with the recruiter over the phone for about 30 minutes - then another 30 minute interview with the hiring manager. - A short "exam" where you answer 4-5 questions similar to what you would be doing for work. - Lastly you talk with the team you would be working with. I interviewed with 2 directors, 3 analysts and 4 other research associates of various levels. This took 4 days in total of roughly 1 hour sessions and one final 30 minute one.

Interview Questions
  • Behavioral questions, so you will have to come up with your own examples. I don't remember them exactly, just have the understanding that you will have to look into your past work experience and align it with the skills they are looking for.
