Pros

The academic environment (especially the calendar) gives a lot of flexibility and understanding, and really encourages you to expand your skills as you go.

Cons

Many of the customers include Harvard students and faculty, which can be a really mixed bag. They are often brilliant, but many have overinflated egos.

Pros

There were great people who I really liked to work with; it was a relaxed environment and had a great experience overall. Everyone really likes it there.

Cons

It was kind of disorganized and definitely could have been more efficient. I didn't always get to do things in the fastest way possible
