Pros

Creative, smart, and kind people to work with Great work/life balance

Cons

Leadership across the company has really struggled to meet the moment for the last several years. It seems Forrester rarely follows best practices from its own research.

Not A Place To Grow

Pros

My manager is awesome. The people I work with are awesome. The work is interesting.

Cons

Salary and growth opportunities. There are no growth opportunities for those in my position. Promotion to data researcher jobs are extremely rare. Leadership has made bad decision after bad decision, there is little faith we are trending in the right direction.
