Phone Interview - The person who conducted the interview seems to be based in India who handles APAC region. He was very arrogant and rude. I would not want to be working for a company where the HR is only bothered at getting a person at minimum salary hire to do the job and recruiter was a red flag as to how potential managers and company is functioning. Recruiter is also suppose to sell the company. He certainly sold the company in a negative way. When time to ask questions, he said there is only 5minutes to ask questions. There is no mutual respect. The call did not start per schedule due to the recruiter. Very bad experience.
I appreciate you taking the time to provide your input. What you describe is not the experience we intend to provide to any candidate, so I apologize your experience was not positive. I'd like to ask a few follow up questions if you happen to be willing to discuss further. I can be reached at jkelly@forrester.com . Thank you again.

Director, Talent Acquisition
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Forrester in May 2022
Interview
HR approached me via LinkedIn, a screen call was set with HR. Then a screen call with business line manager. Then 3 back-to-back interviews with senior manager. Finally a week time to prepare a report and presentation on a specific case. In general the process is painless. HR is super helpful and nice. All the interviewers are friendly.
Four interviews so far, has been great conversation and I think the next round is a presentation. They ask very behavior oriented questions, but they are still fairly natural and easy-going. Still waiting on next round
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Can you describe a time you had to persuade someone?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Forrester (Frankfurt am Main) in Mar 2022
Interview
First interview with the HR and your future manager, just to get to know you.
Then, 3 behavioural interviews to see how you react to situations.
Finally, 1 case study that you receive one week earlier and you have to present to 10 people from the company.
All the interview experience was great. All the people were super nice and helpful. I would recommend it 100%. One of the nicest process I have ever had.
