Pros

Status and recognition from outsiders

Cons

A significant proportion of the resources are expended in keeping Harvard's image pristine. There is very little freedom of expression, and fostering creativity among staff is very low. A culture of fear reigns behind the Potemkin Village facade of Harvard's image.

Pros

You work with experts from every field possible in science from Mechanobiology to Metallurgy and working as a ML intern along with scientists from different fields gave me a lot of exposure and how to work in a research department.

Cons

One challenge encountered was maintaining a clear focus on training objectives, as the evolving parameters required continuous reassessment of the model's learning priorities. Additionally, the absence of established ground truth for the domain presented a limitation in validating and guiding the approach effectively.
