Advice to Management

Excellent work...this is the best culture I've experienced after 10+ years at various companies in multiple industries.

Pros

Just recently celebrated my 10 Year anniversary at Forrester Research. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to work for such a quality organization these past 10 years. George Colony is such a great leader. I feel he’s equally concerned with employees as he is with our clients and financial performance. Some of the many pro's of working at Forrester include Senior Leadership, Culture, Work/Life Balance, Professional Opportunities and Pay/Benefits.

Advice to Management

Continue pursuing new opportunities which add to our product portfolio. Recent acquisitions have added enthusiasm and provided many new opportunities for employees.

Pros

Forrester is a very great company. Lots of very welcoming, kind, and smart individuals. Competitive salary and benefits.

Pros

The interview and on-boarding process is like nothing I've ever seen. The managers are very intentional about your ramping process. I feel supported, empowered to ask questions and I am loving this experience thus far!

Advice to Management

Maintain and protect the culture! It is Forrester's most valuable asset.

Pros

Great culture; comprehensive benefits and perks; working with a smart and driven group of people; opportunity to contribute to an amazing knowledge base

Pros

Great corporate culture and managers are invested in their employees. Always open to change and Advice on improvements.

Pros

- Strong onboarding process
- Travel (depending on position)
- Helpful and intelligent colleagues
- Professional, but not stuffy, work environment
- HR hosts many seminars on a variety of topics to further employee growth
- Easy access to learning about trends and analysis in different industries
-Benefits are nice: Fair amount of time off/personal/sick, stock options, work from home once a week after 6 months, and in the summer there is a free ice cream truck.

Advice to Management

Focus on career growth and letting employees know what the next step is. A career goal/timeline will help employees to know what they are working towards and when it can be expected.

Pros

Forrester's culture is its best asset. If you're a good fit you'll love it here (and 90% of new hires are a good fit due to the outstanding and complex hiring process).
It accomplishes the feat of being both a challenging yet comfortable place to work at day-in and day-out. We have an above average amount of employees who left Forrester and came back later in their career for this very reason.
This is a result-driven company that discourages micro-management.
The company encourages internal innovative projects and prioritizes employees development.

Advice to Management

Continue prioritizing and nurturing the Forrester culture over financial metrics.

Pros

Good people - the most friendly, encouraging people - comapny really cares about work life balance

Advice to Management

Stick to one place - have a structure that encourages collaboration instead of internal competition

Pros

Everyone is incredibly curious, and the growth potential is incredible for those with only a couple years experience out of college. Although I can't speak to other companies first-hand, the work-life balance seems to some of the best in the industry.
