Great place to work... okay salary - Program Coordinator Harvard University Employee Review

Pros

The benefits are great and the people are even better. You're surrounded by more resources than you could possibly imagine. If you enjoy working in an environment where you're constantly surrounded by bright, talented individuals, HBS would be fitting for you. HBS truly appreciates the concept of a "work-life" balance.

Cons

Though the benefits are great, the organizational environment overall is bottom heavy (not enough managment positions). That being said, it's difficult to move into higher level position. If you are a union employee you don't receive rasies based on performance (you only receive what the union is able to negotiate). The negotiated salary is okay (3%), but that just covers the costs of inflation.

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.
