Harvard University Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"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."

"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."

"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."

Before you join, think about what you want to be after 5 years. Look at the past members as they will provide a good idea where you will be. But some labs simply get a lot of people and only the best and fortunate did well. Do the math."
