Vantaggi
The Harvard research center is really good at marketing and branding, and cultivating a culture that tries to make people like they're the brightest and best people in the world. Berkman Klein does bring together some of the most rockstar researchers in the field of public interest work on tech & the internet. The people who make up the community are often very thoughtful, kind, and compassionate when you get to know them individually.
Svantaggi
The Berkman Klein center has not sought to be a leader in its field in terms of payment of its research assistants and interns. As of 2018, the center was still paying its summer research interns only $11.50/hour — the same amount the center paid summer interns in 2010 (found on archived versions of the center's website via Internet Archive). Staff members in my experience do not always adequately give student interns credit for the work they do. The center is largely led by a team of white, old men; it's a bit of an old boys club.
