HarbourVest

Business Analyst / User Acceptance Tester (UAT) working in the Corporate Audit Technology Systems project team. Long term project supporting a Corporate Accounting systems migration project. Experienced in data migration, data field mapping, user acceptance testing, regression testing, bug tracking, platform upgrade and system enhancement requests. Client and Account Management of business finance experience in the investment management field, including account management for Mutual Funds, international equity, fixed income, and complex security types.

While workload can sometimes feel overwhelming, the overall culture of HarbourVest is one of teamwork and results. I feel stressed a lot of days given what I need to accomplish, but my manager is extremely supportive and I feel appreciated when I can get the job done. There is a lot of focus on accuracy and timeliness, and often the expectation is perfection. But it's rewarding to be in such a fast-paced environment with a high standard.

HarbourVest is a great place with many talented and smart individuals. It is slowly changing its traditional corporate culture, to a place where it welcomes new ideas and initiatives to improve the workplace for everyone. 


The hardest part about the job here is that the company doesn't have many processes in placed, we need to create, or adapt. Even though it is challenging, this environment gives employees room to grow

There is very much a hierarchy where the middle men will try to stifle you in their efforts to align with upper management so as the admin, you will always be low man on the totem pole. It’s toxic to say the least.

They load you up with work and tell you that you have time management problems if you can't get it all done. Some teams would rather hire from outside the firm than promote from within, so it is really difficult for those people to get ahead and if you ask fr a transfer they trash you to all the higher managers

Pros: work/life balance, smart and friendly people to work with; good location in Boston

Cons: Hard to get promoted the longer you are there; raises are small ; way too many meetings and expectations for continuous learning while trying to get your job done; company really big now 

Management and co-workers are terrible, they have no sense of moral, they do little to nothing but mistreat those who they think are inferior to them.

The company culture is extremely conservative.  My department is overwhelmed and everyone is very stressed out.  Personally, I don't find it enjoyable to work there.

You get to work from home one day a week and casual jeans on Friday. Even though they are late in the game on implementing this policy but they are heading to the right direction.

Immature IT organization.  Generally unknowable teams, leaders, and unqualified managers.  

‘Group think’ is the drink of choice. 

Growing firm- small business leadership
