Pros

Smart people and remote work was a great benefit while it lasted. Good name and brand recognition made it easy to get your foot in the door.

Cons

It's a lot of politics and if you're not part of the insider group you will be left out. All the best sales leaders I worked with at the company left and moved on because of poor product advancentments. The analysts want to write about their own personal viewpoints and don't feel the need to align with the sales/account teams to truly understand what the clients are looking for from them. The thought leadership products are very strong but as a salesperson, you don't earn much commission from them. Account exec to account manager transition was often times messy as the exec team did not properly explain what the membership entailed.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I’m glad to hear you valued the people you worked with and the strength of Forrester’s brand while you were here. At the same time, I’m sorry to hear that your experience with team dynamics and alignment across the business didn’t meet your expectations. As we evolve the business, including changes to our products and go-to-market strategy, we know that clarity and consistency across teams, particularly between research and sales, are critical and help employees be successful in their work. We will continue to focus on that alignment. Thank you again for your feedback and the contributions you made at Forrester. I wish you all the best in your future career. Jobina Gonsalves Chief People Officer
