Pros

Free parking, plenty of learning material and good resume builder if you make it out without burning out.

Cons

Corporate learning is dog eat dog sales pure and simple. They bloat prices and offer random discounts. Recycled content repackaged year after year. Sales uses and ABUSES every other department and management turns a blind eye because yearly bonuses are based off sales numbers. No work life balance and your worth is based on what have you done for me lately mentality. Work 15 hours one day 8 the next and get scolded because you didn't put in extra effort. Incompetent management that have been at the company for years, sharp contrast in tenure you've either been at HBP for 15+ yrs or 2yr. 50% of the company is "contractors" through local staffing agencies so Harvard can escape paying benefits. These contractors have been there for upwards of 5 yrs..

Harvard Business Publishing Response

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 with management or Human Resources during your tenure as we may have been able to address some of the issues had we known about them.
