The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Forrester
Interview
Structured, formal, month long interview. Involved initial screening interview with recruiter, phone interview with hiring manager, four in-person interviews with team, and one in-person demo interview with team of 8-10. Was surprised that they recruited me, as I did not have experience in one of the key areas of the position, but I continued to advance through interview rounds and continued to try my best. Would have appreciated if the team would have been upfront about this from the beginning, as I did not fully qualify for the position yet invested in a lengthy and intense interview process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Initial screening interview and phone interview with hiring manager focused on standard introductory questions about my background, how I learned about the position, how much I knew about the organization, why I was interested in the job, and what value I could add through my previous experience and skills. They gave a heads up that the in-person interviews would be mostly behavioral (e.g. tell us about a time you overcame a challenge) but one of the hiring managers switched things up with more rapid-fire hypothetical questions that both caught me off guard and seemed scattered, as the questions she posed were rather large and would require a bit of thinking and planning yet she did not allow much time for an answer before skipping to the next.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Forrester (London, England) in Apr 2015
Interview
Brilliant communication during the process. I was very well looked after by the recruiter at Forrester Research and received relevant information to prepare for different stages of the interview process. The company was open to me asking questions about the process and preparation and ensured that I clearly understood the presentation task.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Forrester (Cambridge, MA) in Jul 2009
Interview
I had 5 one on one interviews, most of which were generic questions from those either uninterested or uninformed about the role.
I then had a presentation to more of the same-- There was generally a lack of decision making or concise criteria to base the decision on.
