I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Forrester in Mar 2017
Interview
As a whole my interview process was well organized and HR was thorough and helpful. I was just very put-off by the head of the team I was interviewing for. The phone interview went well until he asked if I had any questions, I asked about his experience/role and he said it was a very canned question. Everyone comes into interviews with a set of questions, yes, but I just politely laughed it off. But then during the in-person interview when I asked about the structure of the department he said "don't take this the wrong way, but why are you asking this?" I was very confused and wanted to the interview as quickly as possible. He made it a very awkward and uncomfortable experience, stating he worked the least amount on the team and laughing.

Behavioral questions like how you communicate effectively.
3 rounds. first round had call with hiring manager. Next I met with manager of team I would be joining. Then I had three other behavioral interviews, and had a technical assessment.
Very informative and friendly, 4 rounds in total with first few round being hr then fellow associates up till the senior team, ending with an assessment test.
Everyone in the team were very helpful with answering questions about the company and hr was very straightforward with the requirements and interview processes.
