"The benefits at Harvard are second to none! Some highlights: I was able to take a full six months of paid maternity for both my children; four weeks of vacation each year plus the week between Christmas and New Year's; all major holidays off; comprehensive medical, life, dental, disability insurance options; and reasonable working hours. Salary in my line of work (fundraising) is also very competitive for the area."

"appeared women in the specific office I worked with had flexibility - definitely good WLB. I worked there as a student, so very different context than for FT women. Compensation was low given my level of experience (standard, exploitative hourly rate for grad students). "

"Harvard offers great benefits and the university is (generally) supportive of a good work/life balance.
I rarely work past 5pm. But so much of your daily experience depends on which school/unit/manager you work for. Some are more supportive of women than others."
