Forrester Reviews

Pros

The research side of things are really interesting and the clients are lovely. Many colleagues are great people.

Cons

- Management works very close with HR, don't expect any help from them. - Flexible working is only for the chosen few. - high turn over (guess why?) - Some managers are real bullies.

Pros

There are a handful of genuine people working at Forrester.

Cons

-European culture is disregarded. How can you disregard someones identity? Applying an US centric methodology will simply not work in Europe. - There is no career growth, you can see your life pass by in the same position. Ask and thou shall not seek. -Management needs drastic basic training, emotional intelligence is lacking. - It is a hard place to work. There is no team spirit. The word TEAM and We gets thrown a lot but it needs to be redefined as there is no team spirit.

Pros

The work is incredibly interesting for the curious of mind. No two days are the same with lots of variety. The people are exceptionally helpful, bright, supportive and welcoming, with a fantastically real positive outlook. If you work hard and smart, you are rewarded well. There is a very good level of work-life balance and this is highly supported by management up and down the food chain. Employees are listened to and action taken to continuously improve.

Cons

Honestly, can't think of any - maybe some of the benefits could be a bit more in line with the market but I am sure this will come in time as employees are listened to and smart reasonable ideas are generally actioned.

Pros

People Diversity of products Office location Access to all research Company stock scheme

Cons

Very sales focused organisation US-Centric Plain office, old equipment, bad coffee Basic benefits

Pros

Some people are friendly and helpful but you never know who will turn on you for the benefit of themselves which happens more than often

Cons

- Any issues you have with management or if you feel you are being treated unfairly, HR will not help you in any way. They are absolutely useless. they have no passion or interest in the employees which they claim to do. They will brush it off until you end up worse off and then act like they tried to help you. - CSS dept is the worst, it has it's favourites and if you aren't one your life will be made a misery! - You can be punished for being 2 minutes late to work even though your work performance/rate is apparently perfect. - Management have their connections with HR so ensure you sign up to a trade union as they won't defend you or investigate your case as a neutral party so you end up being worse off.
