Pros

Harvard has excellent benefits and salary which is most likely the main reason that employees remain at Harvard.

Cons

While Harvard promotes itself as one of the "best places to work," be mindful that once you get your foot in the door, it is a political, bureaucratic machine that, at best, moves at a snail's pace to move ideas forward.

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.
