Pros

Its name value. Harvard name on the resume often gets the attention of the prospective employers. It has tons of resources to use towards research.

Cons

The focus of the whole school seems to be primarily on undergraduates. Your life quality and career growth heavily depend on the professor you're working for. Some of the professors don't qualified to be advising graduate students or postdocs and they don't have the technical knowledge or interests in the training of the advisees.
