Hostile, Toxic Hellhole - Department Manager Harvard University Employee Review

Pros

Vacation, benefits, some decent people amidst the bullies and harassers

Cons

Unbeknownst to me, I joined a department where the man in charge had already been reported to HR by 3 women. I found this out when I became the 4th woman to report him. What happened next? HR and Title IX sided with him, he's still in his cozy corner office in University Hall, and I lost my job. All of this happened with the blessing of the so-called leadership at the College. And I thought I was doing the right thing by reporting this creep. LOL!

Pros

You work with experts from every field possible in science from Mechanobiology to Metallurgy and working as a ML intern along with scientists from different fields gave me a lot of exposure and how to work in a research department.

Cons

One challenge encountered was maintaining a clear focus on training objectives, as the evolving parameters required continuous reassessment of the model's learning priorities. Additionally, the absence of established ground truth for the domain presented a limitation in validating and guiding the approach effectively.
