About Forrester
Forrester Research, Inc. is an independent research company that provides pragmatic and forward-thinking advice to global leaders in business and technology.
Forrester Research (Nasdaq: FORR) is a global research and advisory firm serving professionals in 13 key roles across three distinct client segments. Our clients face progressively complex business and technology decisions every day. To help them understand, strategize, and act upon opportunities brought by change, Forrester provides proprietary research, consumer and business data, custom consulting, events and online communities, and peer-to-peer executive programs. We guide leaders in business technology, marketing and strategy, and the technology industry through independent fact-based insight, ensuring their business success today and tomorrow.
In order to hire the best of the best, we have a thorough but efficient interview process that helps us evaluate your candidacy and allows you to get to know us as well. We're not simply looking for functional expertise; we look to hire candidates whose work is consistent with Forrester's company vision, mission, and values: client focus, courage, collaboration, integrity, and quality.
To get started, search our job openings and apply for the position that interests you.
Depending on the position, the process typically takes from two to six weeks.
You can expect to start the process through a phone conversation with one of our recruiters and with the hiring manager for the position. If things go well during the phone interview, you can expect team interviews. Typically you'll interview with the team in person. But as we're a global company, sometimes you'll interview via Skype, phone, or videoconference, depending on where you and the interview team are located. Many of our positions require a formal presentation as a final step. To become an analyst at Forrester, you are required to write a report that frequently becomes your first published piece of work.
