Advice to Management

Geta new CEO
Hire some real leaders with industry experience

Pros

The people are fantastic and always willing to help.
Plenty of room for job progression and movement between offices
Great company culture
The research is really insightful and sought after

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

- 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

The people are what keep me coming back for more every day. They are remarkable - smart, kind, curious, and always willing to lend a hand. Leaders ask for your opinion, trust your judgement, and offer valuable coaching. I've always felt valued and appreciated for my contributions at Forrester.

Beyond the people, the Forrester experience is rich in opportunity and collaboration. Innovation is currently front and center and there's momentum building - exciting times are ahead at Forrester.

Advice to Management

Your presence and commitment to know employees as individuals has more of an impact than you may know. Don't stop making a point of asking how we are and what we think.

Pros

There is a culture of innovation, strong emphasis on employee experience, transparency from leadership, and high level of collaboration between departments.

Pros

I initially came to Forrester as a summer intern, and was rehired as a full time employee.

My experience with my managers at Forrester has been fantastic. Forrester does a really good job of making sure managers are well trained. My manager is accessible, knowledgeable about the company, and eager to talk about my goals/struggles/general thoughts. My management experience has also been very transparent: if I ever had a problem in my job or wanted to explore other areas of the company, I know my manager would be supportive.

As a whole, the people at Forrester are so willing to invest in you. As an early career person, I have been especially impressed with how willing people (both within my team and outside of it) have been to hear my opinion in meetings, involve me on projects that interest me but don't fall into my jurisdiction, or just grab coffee and give career advice.

Advice to Management

Continue to invest in your intern program - it is a fantastic source of talent for Forrester, and a hands-on, real world experience for the students you hire.
