Harvard University

Is this your company?

Great place to work while figuring out the next step. - Staff Assistant Harvard University Employee Review

Pros

Being an academic institution, the opportunities to further your education are almost endless. The growth of one's career is somewhat limited. It is a perfect place for someone just out of college and still doesn't know what s/he wants to do for a career...or is switching careers. I was able to take many classes at Harvard's continuing education for a small amount. After several years of service and with management approval, you can take classes at the university itself.

Cons

The name 'Harvard' leads to much pretension. The university is so big that you often don't see your direct impact on the world (if that is what you seek).
