Harvard University Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"I have worked for Harvard medical school for about an year and a half. I found the working environment pleasant and people here are very friendly."

"My postdoctoral studies focused on Biochemistry to understand more about biological mechanisms and synthesizing organic intermediates to understand the biological synthesis of natural products. Also, I am trained in developing and finding novel drugs for Multidrug Drug Resistance Tuberculosis/HIV patients. During this project I closely worked with MDs, research scientists and patients from the United States and South Africa along with several individuals from Harvard Affiliated Hospitals."

"I worked at Harvard University's Chemistry department for two years of my undergrad studies. The lab I was in had wonderful and highly intelligent people who were kind, respectful and very open to teaching and explaining concepts I did not fully understand."

"My time at this job was very enjoyable. However their policy not to give more than 17 hours to part time employees to avoid paying health benefits was distasteful. Harvard campus is world-renown and my interactions with staff and faculty were very pleasant."

"Extremely good and positive atmosphere"

"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."

"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."

"The Broad Institute has been selected as a top place to work for several years in a row, and they really do try hard to create an ideal work environment for genomics research."

"Resources are plenty, the real experiences varies a lot depending on your adviser. Postdocs in some labs (biology or chemistry) may take 5 years or more. 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."

"It is a No1 University wold wide."
