Unfortunate culture

Pros

Brand recognition was both a plus and a negative in the market I served

Cons

The culture was likely the worst I had ever experienced. Absolutely no psychological safety, cliquish and shaming.

It's disappointing to know that you did not have a positive work-life experience during your tenure as this is not the experience we want for our employees. We are saddened by the fact that you did not feel comfortable sharing your feedback as we strive to create a great culture for all our employees.

Incredible place to work

Pros

They value the longevity of their employees, who are passionate about the company goals and mission, and take pride in the work we do. The pay is good. Managers are well trained and flexible at the team level--no one size fits all approach to management here.

Cons

Sometimes change is slow or difficult because the Harvard way of doing things is so long established.
