The management culture it terrible

Highly siloed, lots of mistrust. Lots of power struggles and confusing management.

Horrible work culture expects too much for very little salary
Employee - Analyst / Associate / Consultant
Lots of unsatisfactory staff members due to work overload and lesser salary
Employee - Manager / Senior Manager
Significant discrimination exists in Central Administration and there is no accountability. Environment rewards bullying behavior and punishes those with a moral compass. Not a healthy environment for those who value professional integrity. Money buys 'Veritas' in the Harvard world.
Employee - Manager / Senior Manager
Harvard has a culture of paranoia and bullying. Communication is very poor, team collaboration is not encouraged, bullying is common, and manipulation is the name is the game.
Employee - Manager / Senior Manager
There is a strict hierarchy. Stick to it. Don't think creatively, it will get you in trouble. The HR department is fairly unsympathetic and will not support employees. The Ombudsman's office has stacks of books in surviving bullying in the work place, but no one does anything to change the toxic work culture. Harvard does as it pleases because it is big and has deep pockets. It is an extremely unhealthy environment for anyone valuing integrity.
Employee - Analyst / Associate / Consultant
Looks great on the resume but extremely demanding work schedule with little benefits beyond prestige.
Employee - Analyst / Associate / Consultant
Cutthroat work culture.
Employee - Analyst / Associate / Consultant
Be ready to be put through a wringer, but in the end will help your professional growth by being able to get a better position. I would not consider this as a permanent place of work, but rather as "necessary evil" to my professional goal.
