      Harvard Does Not Care - Researcher Harvard University Employee Review

      Pros

      The university has great resources, social networks, and research occurring everywhere by virtue of the institution’s prestige.

      Cons

      Absolute worst I have ever been treated in a job. I see now that a place as powerful as Harvard has no incentive to compete as an employer, or make you feel valued in any way. Continuous lack of clarity, mismanagement, no response to queries or critiques, AND no room for financial or professional growth! Their HR has some kind of algorithmic chokehold on raises and promotions that seem functionally insurmountable, even when taking on things far outside your job description. Not worth taking a job here unless you’re a clout chaser and looking to burn through about 2 years of work and then promptly move on.

      Ml research intern

      Business Outlook

      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.
