Major laws include the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which require organizations to manage data transparently.

The people. Truly talented, kind, smart colleagues who deserve better than what the company offers. If you make friends here, it will be despite the company, not because of it.

Pay is offensively low for the work, expectations, and experience required. There are no meaningful promotions and no annual raises that keep pace with inflation, so in real terms you lose money every single year you stay. Loyalty is financially punished. The company fundamentally does not value consulting as a product. Consultants are treated as interchangeable cost centers rather than skilled professionals delivering high-value work. Leadership decisions repeatedly signal that consulting is an afterthought, not a strategic priority. Leadership overall feels lost. There is no clear vision, no momentum, and no credible plan for growth. The company has declined steadily over the last five years, and at this point it's not a "sinking ship" - it's already sunk. Morale reflects that reality. Any sense of prestige or thought leadership Forrester once had is gone. What remains is bureaucracy, cost-cutting, and a growing disconnect between leadership narratives and on-the-ground reality. I've completely lost the respect I once had for the company.
