Forrester contacted me via one of there senior recruiters Kristina. I had a great time interviewing with all the members of the team that I would work for.
The interview process consisted of:
- a screening interview with the recruiter
-a phone interview with the Hiring manager
- a quick assessment to follow
-another follow up interview with the Hiring Manager
-then an interview with the team (usually 3 hours long), will usually focus on behavioral questions
Forrester's whole process was professional and courteous. And having a dedicated recruiter made a difficult series of successive interviews easier.
The whole cast at Forrester was one of the most dedicated and passionate employees I have seen. From senior managers to new professionals. I thoroughly enjoyed the process.

Interview
My interview experience was so long and resulted in nothing. I kept being passed from team to team and got farther and farther from positions that I wanted with each hand off. I started off applying for an Associate Researcher role in Retail, had a basic interview with HR, phone screen with the manager, then group interview with 6 people for three hours in total (½ hour per interview) and an hour long data/proofreading exercise. They decided not to hire me but kept passing me to other Research teams that I was not interested in until I somehow ended up at Security and Risk Management, which is obviously completely different than Retail...
