Vantaggi

Working as a teaching fellow at Harvard puts you into contact with motivated students, most of whom are interested in the topics and eager to learn. Furthermore, it allows you to learn new things, or a new perspective on things that you already knew. Colleagues are collaborative, and this makes the work easier and more enjoyable.

Svantaggi

Workload may vary largely depending on the course for which you are a TF. Both the preparation of sections and the grading can take very different amounts of time and effort in different classes.

Vantaggi

This place is huge, your mileage may vary based on which school and which department you work in - even in the same role. I have the best manager hands-down, and the team around me makes it all worth it.

Svantaggi

Pay is slow to advance, PTO stuck at 15ish days annual, career advancement is inconsistent

Vantaggi

Great Union and benefits for non-profits/higher ed. Wonderful colleagues outside of leadership!

Svantaggi

GSD Development and Alumni Relations (under current leadership) is an incredibly toxic work environment. I didn't realize the intensity of the toll it took on my until after leaving, and I am not one to leave a negative review, but as they are hiring for several positions currently, I wish to share words of caution with applicants. Cons: - Absolutely not a safe space for anyone who is Black, brown, trans, queer, working-class, or disabled - 100% top-down direction. No room for personal exploration, initiative, or creativity. - Minimal guidance from leadership - Frequent pivots, even in the late stages of projects - Petty, immature talking behind your back by leadership - No upward mobility unless the Associate Dean or Dean like you - Deeply disingenuous comments, reflections, and feedback from leadership - Complete lack of transparency on direction, goals, etc. - Small mistakes are made cornerstones of performance evaluations, while leadership routinely missteps. Leadership never takes accountability. - Top-down policy decisions, completely lacking detail, thought, and care outside of legal ramifications - Ever-changing in-office requirements
