I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Forrester in Jan 2007
Interview
Lengthy and intense process which involves multiple phone and in-person interviews; writing a research paper and going through two rounds of edits; and presenting on your research paper to a team of analysts in person and on the phone. The analysts attending the presentation will challenge your findings and force you to explain/defend any claims.

Question 1
Scenario based questions about the advice you would give to a client in specific circumstances. This was an opening question that led to several other questions based on your answers.

Interview
I received a first interview invitation a few days after I have applied for the position. The recruiter spent 15 minutes talking about another position at Forrester until realizing it was not the same one I have applied for. After emailing the recruiter twice about the second interview as we spoke about in the first one, no rely was received and I found out I was no longer a candidate by looking it up via their recruitment portal.
Overall, extremely unprofessional HR.
The interview process can last several months with many rounds of interviews. Many different stakeholders are involved. Involved writing and presenting research findings on a preselected topic. The process is designed to ensure that the best talent is getting through - and therefore is appropriate.

Interview
I had a series of 1:1 discussions with manager, peers, and other people on the research team over a few weeks. The discussions were generally informal but some difficult questions were asked that required a lot of on-the-spot knowledge and recall. Overall not a stressful interview effort.
