      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Forrester (Boston, MA) in Jul 2024

      Interview

      The process was very thorough but fair. It included both interviews and an assignment, delivered in writing and via presentation. HR was supportive and a great partner in the process, as was the hiring manager.

      Question 1

      Provide examples of thought leadership
      Answer question

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Forrester in Mar 2022

      Interview

      I applied online and there was an initial recruiter screening with a highly capable and responsive recruiter. There were multiple potential fits for me and the recruiter helped me hone in on the best option for my interests and skillset. Next, I met the hiring manager for a short interview and we discussed my background and the position. It was a relaxed and enjoyable conversation that really helped me envision working there. The next phase included a series of 30-minute interviews with various team members and leaders in the research organization. Everyone I met was incredibly smart, professional, and friendly. The final stage for me was a panel presentation to the interview team and some other members from the company. Overall, it was the best interview experience I've ever had.

      Principal Analyst Interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Forrester (Cambridge, MA) in Jun 2021

      Interview

      Overall, a great interview experience. After meeting with a recruiter and the hiring manager, you'll interview with a variety of roles at different levels of seniority, including people who would be your peers. Be prepared to succinctly deliver your recent experience. Questions are mostly behavioral in nature, and focused on scenarios you'd experience when interacting with a client as a Forrester analyst. They'll challenge you to see how you handle things. The second round involves researching and writing a report in conjunction with the person you'd be reporting to. After you've passed this phase, you get to present and defend your findings while Forrester people challenge you. In my case, this was projected to be a month-long process, which seems excessive, but understandable given the nature of the role.
