"I loved my experience at Harvard Business School and felt I had many opportunities to grow as a professional through promotions and new opportunities. My key driver in leaving was that I wanted to focus more on using the skills I had learned in one particular area of my job at HBS and entrepreneurship allowed me to do that. Also, the commute was brutal. In a student services facing role, I had some flexibility in working two days a week remotely and a 8-4 schedule, but with the commute that would not have worked long term for my family needs."

"When I was at HBS, I had 13 weeks of fully paid leave because before using my leave I had been with the organization for 7 years. If I had been there less than 7 years it would have been 75% paid. They have since changed the policy to 20 weeks but I am not sure if the tenure requirement is still the same regarding fully or partially paid."

"HBS actively works at diverse hiring. Managers reach across the hierarchy to get input from workers. Accommodations and flex work is available to everyone. HBS even has a system in place to accommodate MBA students that are pregnant or the parents of young children."

"There are obviously lots of different positions at HBS, some more women-friendly than others. That said, tenure track professorships are extremely challenging. "

"In development, which is has way more women than men, people are really nice but you want to make sure to not get too far into the fray because there's definitely a mean-girl current. As long as you're nice to everyone and don't get too involved, you'll be fine."
