      Pros

      Talented, caring people working directly with clients

      Cons

      Horrible Executive Leadership. Anti-sales focus, with a goal of compliance not commitment. If you dare demonstrate any degree of push back or courage you are punished. Really disappointing, for Harvard University to own a operating with such backwards leadership.

      I am disappointed by this review and saddened by your experience. Our move to a more unified organization structure and articulation of explicit culture goals are just some of the ways we aspire to do great things together. Please reach out to me at angela.cheng-cimini@harvardbusiness.org to share more. As your CHRO, I am always open to discussion on how we can improve.

      Pros

      Great content and some leaders

      Cons

      anti-sales culture with virtually no brand awareness and marketing outreach to build business. Sales is also the target and scapegoat for company problems and unfairly targeted by other departments

      We are disappointed to hear about your experience but also encouraged by your feedback. Under new leadership, we believe we have addressed many of your concerns: we have refined our go-to-market strategy, realigned functions to work more collaboratively, and set new expectations for a sales culture that celebrates client-centricity, agility and collaboration across functions, amongst other aspects. I encourage you to reach out to me at angela.cheng-cimini@harvardbusiness.org so I can learn more. I hope to hear from you and appreciate your willingness to connect.
