Forrester Reviews

Pros

The company is very emotionally mature. It listens to its employees and gives new hires the time to settle in.

Cons

With such a complex product, the role requires a lot of shadowing in my opinion, which just hasn’t been possible for me.

Pros

Its a great company, with a great reputation in the market. The global leadership team is exceptional and the way that they have handled Covid and looked after their people has been nothing short of amazing. Other could learn a lot not just from the research Forrester produces but from the manner it delivers to its own customers, it's people. The part that stands out to me the most is that lots of companies will tell you that we are vested in your success. I feel that at Forrester its believed and actioned. From the TA & HR to the Sales leaders, from research to BRD everyone will give you their time to help make you successful.

Cons

Benefits could be better, things seem a bit behind the time in elements like flexibility and pension. But I am confident that some of this will now change for the better due to covid.

Pros

The Forrester executive team have been absolutely brilliant in this current crisis with clear, transparent communication and actions making it easy to willingly go the extra mile which is what we all need to do in the current climate. Thank You! Our research has never been stronger (in my opinion) and the collaboration and alignment across departments never so easy.

Cons

We've had some ups and downs with weak leadership in pockets on various levels, and some hard to get rid of silo thinking - but I feel that is clearly in the past and confident that we are moving forward united and stronger than ever. Just something to keep an eye on to not fall back on weak spots and silo thinking when times are easier again.

Pros

A lot: Job progression, employee benefits, work-life balance & personal development.

Cons

I can't think of any, if I could, I wouldn't be worried about voicing my opinions either.

Pros

-Great development opportunities from some quality managers -Moving to 'work from home' has been rapid and supported -Technical product set which is seeing heavy engagement from current clients -Leadership of 'international business' has gained focus and has great direction

Cons

- Chances for promotion have been placed on hold and before COVID we're subject to incredible luck and patience. -Heavy use of KPIs . Sometimes used for bashing salespeople over the head with rather than development. -CEO is a major figure in the organisation, and therefore Forrester leaves itself vulnerable when he retires or leaves.
