I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Forrester (Boston, MA) in Jul 2021
Interview
Interview with recruiter was great but when it got to the hiring manager it went horrible. I could tell from the start he didn’t believe I was fit for the role. I have a non traditional background and I explained how my unique my experiences still made me a viable candidate. The hiring manager however didn’t hesitate to let me know that my experience wasn’t what they were looking for and that they had multiple candidates that were stronger than me. Not sure why he interviewed me in the first place when he’d already made up his mind about me but it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. I withdrew my application immediately after.

I applied online. I interviewed at Forrester (Cambridge, MA) in Sep 2022
Interview
A couple of regular interviews, hiring manager, others on the team. The case study was somewhat difficult but the presentation aspect wasn't as bad. Everyone was very friendly and made presenting less stressful. From the beginning the process was great and the recruiter was wonderful.
