Harvard University Employer Reviews

It's a good environment for students aspiring to be researchers. Working in a lab helps build technical skills.

Working at Harvard Medical School was always a dream being an International student as this institute is the epitome of academic excellence, at least in my opinion. I worked at the Immunology department and getting hands on experience with animal models was really exciting. Co-workers were extrememly helpful and cheerful to work with. I never had a – more... hard time communicating with anyone. Hardest part of the job was dissection, that freaked me out at the beginning but I got better with it. The most enjoyable part was sorting cells using FACS. – less

Professors/managers seem to be split pretty evenly between egotistical and charismatic, but all are supermen in their fields. I ended up with a fantastic professor.

Harvard Medical School is a progressive institution with the common goal of alleviating human disease and suffering. Each department and office has a role in this common goal. Each day is never the same which enables development in multitasking, communication, and prioritization skills. One must be incredibly flexible and adaptable to work here.

Harvard, what can I say? A world class university with world class people. My experience there has taught me a lot. The professionalism that I acquired during my time at Harvard will serve me always.

Working at Harvard University was a great experience. Even though internships have a bad name on coffee runs, i really didn't mind it. I would come in, work on filing through paperwork, emails, and phone calls. Afterwards, since they knew I did some video work, they gave me the opportunity to edit a few promo videos for their Harvard Football and Hockey – more... teams. The footage was over 140 hours worth. I needed to learn how to delegate my time well and work effectively in the 8 hour days I worked. The hardest part of the job was getting the videos done on time. Honestly, the most enjoyable part of the job was getting those videos done and the seeing the happy co-workers faces of my edited work. – less

Great resources, happy employees, beautiful buildings and grounds.
