Vantaggi
The best thing about working at Harvard is the array of free resources, such as tuition to the Extension School, use of the library system, and use of learning platforms such as O'Reilly and LinkedIn Learning. That said, a minority of employees make use of these resources, which is sad because salaries and benefits are sub-par and because you'd think there would be more interest in growth and learning!
Svantaggi
Employees are not valued for work product or effort as much as the willingness to say yes to their manager and to keep their opinions to themselves. Those in positions of authority who take on tasks no one else wants, find a way to make themselves indispensable and thereby are allowed to create toxic environments for those in lower positions. Neither department leadership nor HR will stand against those problematic managers, as it's simply a numbers game and they are considered more valuable than the individual contributors.
