Harvard University Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"doing research at harvard is an amazing experience"

"A great intellectual atmosphere and great people to work with."

"I've worked at Harvard University for 6 years, and I think it is a great place to learn and grow. I would recommend this university to anyone who is hard working and passionate about learning."

"Great academic environment, huge opportunity to grow professionally, only if mentored by the right professor. Not all the departments offer the exact same level of dominance in the field, as you expect from a Harvard school, but in some areas, the research level is top of its class. Therefore, a fascinating place to work and grow. However, the environment is overly competitive, which sometimes harm, while on the other hand, it can help you thrive. A bad aspect is that the system is highly bureaucratic, which sometimes makes for fell left aside. Nonetheless, that is not an issue for someone joining for the experience and for learning, to later go somewhere else to excel."

"The Team at Avid was extremely helpful and professional during the process when I was looking for my current position. They were constantly in touch with me providing me with updates daily. I find working with them to be very easy and enjoyable and would certainly recommend them to my colleagues."

"Harvard is a great institution to work for. You are surrounded by international students, faculty and staff. Although the salary can be low depending on the position, the colleagues, friends, and great benefits make it worthwhile."

"My internship is at Harvard University Faculty of Arts and Sciences, I started in January 29, 2014 to July 25, 2014. Working at Harvard University I found it to be very knowledgeable, educational and a great place to build my IT skills. My supervisors and co-workers are very helpful when needed. I managed computer labs around campus. I also maintained some of the printers such as making sure they always had paper, paper jams, changing toner and maintenance kits."

"SAO states that it needs to develop an EE department but will not seriously advance a program, commitment or tools to accomplish this. Budgets are managed poorly and people are sometimes sent home for lack of being able to pay them. Outsourcing of EE projects are the trend. I have worked here for over a year as contract with a stated up front commitment to transition to permanent yet, contract workers are more the norm here."

"HCRI is an academic research organization that performs many of the traditional CRO functions, but brings along with it the partnership it has with Harvard University."

"I've worked at Harvard University since 1996."

"This is a company that appreciates the bottom line."

"I feel very proud of what I contributed at Harvard. Unfortunately, no one else there has the capacity to fully understand the scope of what I made look easy. It was not, but I left them in a much better place than they were when I started. :-)"

"I worked at Harvard for more than 8 years. I love my working environment, the people around me are supportive and nice. The only thing that I can not take any more is the cold weather here in Massachusetts."

"Great position for students who are looking for term-time work."
