I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Forrester (Dallas, TX) in Oct 2010
Interview
From my first contact with the company to my last and most recent interview, a total of 8 months elapsed. The first time I interviewed, it was over the phone, first with a recruiter, then with the hiring manager. That position was not offered and the hiring manager left the company, I was later told.
Five months later, I was contacted regarding the same position, and underwent another phone interview, followed by a round of in-person peer interviews at the Dallas office. I was later told this position dematerialized (I was told no offer was made to anyone at that time).
Three months after that, I was invited back to the office to interview both with peers and hiring managers. At that point I was told not to expect an offer until as late as several months later.
In all three interviews, questions ranged from easy and conversational ("How did you hear about the position?") to calculated and probing ("What makes you well-suited for this position?"). The office culture seems really relaxed and open, which I liked. Training, mentoring and coaching seems readily available, which I also liked.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Your background doesn't really make you a natural fir for this position, so what makes you interested in sales?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Forrester (Cambridge, MA) in Feb 2017
Interview
It was very straightforward. I was reached out to on Linkedin. Then I had a phone screen, followed by an in-person interview with multiple people. The people I met with were both managers and peers.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Forrester (Amsterdam)
Interview
Great application process in which you get the chance to informally speak with employees you would possibly be working together with. The application process consists of several telephone interviews, an on-site interview and a presentation. Prior to each stage you are very well informed- and prepared by a recruiter. After each stage you get the opportunity to recap together with this recruiter, something I experienced as very pleasant and helpful. Big thumbs up to all people involved in the application process. It felt to me as a great journey of applying at a very professional yet down-to-earth company.

I applied online. I interviewed at Forrester (London, England) in Sept 2016
Interview
I had a short 10 mins phone interview with a recruiter. She was very pleased with things I had to say about the company. Unfortunately we both decided not to proceed further after she told me about the salary - was too low and non negotiable.
