Business Outlook
Pros
Great learning opportunities and job growth. Harvard is such a large institution you are exposed to many different types of projects and funding sources. The Faculty are world class and the projects they work on critical to many national and international organizations.
Cons
Some sponsored administration roles can be very narrow and focused. You can get bored in your job quickly once you learn it. There are opportunities for classes and trainings but it can be hard to take them with work. There is no formal job or career path, so you must establish that for yourself. Managers can be hit or miss. If you have a supportive and normal manager consider yourself lucky!
