21. Pariveda Solutions

Pariveda Solutions, a technology strategy and solutions consulting firm, is a “company <that> challenges and supports you to become your best self… but also values healthy work-life balance.” They make career growth expectations and opportunities very clear with their Pariveda Expectations Framework, that lays out how promotions are earned at every level. Likewise, they offer a transparent pay scale based on cohort level that ensure pay equity across the company. On top of clear expectations, Pariveda has several systems in place to help you meet them. They offer a mentorship program, a women’s forum (Espirit de Femme), professional trainings, and executive coaching. It’s no wonder they were voted a “best place to work” by Glassdoor, Fortune, Consulting Magazine, and Computerworld. 

Technology company Avanade believes women are changing the tech game. The leading digital innovator in the Microsoft ecosystem says it “is a place where women can learn, grow and succeed through on-the-job experience, professional development and mentoring.” And women who review Avanade online agree. Fairygodboss reviewers say the company "has many programs to promote and encourage female leaders to grow and develop” and “has great benefits while being flexible with your needs.” 

One of the things women on Fairygodboss most consistently praise Wells Fargo for? The "amount of opportunity" here. Not only that, but employees also note that there are a "number of teams dedicated to advancing gender and diversity inclusion" — and it's clearly paying off.

Guitar Center is one iconic brand that just keeps growing. Women love working at the retailer because of its dedication to supporting career development and supporting its diverse workforce in their personal and professional goals.

In 1922, USAA (short for "United Services Automobile Association") was founded by a group of U.S. Army officers who had trouble securing auto insurance due to the perception that they, as members of the military, were a "high-risk" group. One hundred short years later, and the Fortune 500 company, which has been voted one of the world's "most ethical," continues to embody its patriotic roots. By providing banking and insurance services to military members, veterans, and their families, women who work here say they find their jobs incredibly meaningful. As Laura Bishop, the company's CFO, put it: "The passion and dedication USAA employees have toward our mission amazes me!"

Qualcomm is growing — and so is its technology. From artificial intelligence to extended reality applications, women at Qualcomm get to have a direct hand in pioneering some of tech's most exciting possibilities. What else do they love about working here? The supportive, family-friendly work culture doesn't hurt. In their employee reviews on FGB, women here say things like: "It feels like your coworkers here are your friends and family, and that they really care;" "We have nursing rooms and expectant mother parking spots;" "I found a team where I mean something."

Headquartered in Plano, Texas, but with offices in New York, California, Missouri, and North Carolina, don't miss your chance to get in at Siemens Digital Industries Software (which is doing a bunch of hiring!). The folks here help companies around the world to transform their business and develop innovative products and services. Women seem to be pretty big fans of their work here, and of the company culture. One woman, who's worked at Siemens for 19 years, said in her Fairygodboss review that she would "recommend it to everyone," and another noted that she's "been blessed with a really supportive manager and have been able to get promoted into management."

Women who work at the (growing!) Mentor Graphics, a Siemens business, enjoy a wide array of benefits, including women who work on a part-time basis. That's because, although Mentor may be billion-dollar electronic design automation (EDA) corporation, it has a people-first culture. Nurturing the curiosity and continued education of women at Mentor is at the heart of the culture here, as well; employees are eligible for programs ranging from tuition reimbursement to a research-based Corporate Library to professional development programs for both technical and non-technical education. 

Gartner is growing like crazy and it knows that its biggest asset is its people. As a result, the company has invested in the best of the best benefits and growth opportunities for all employees, regardless of gender.  With paid parental leave, covered fertility treatments and remote working options, women know that their work-life balance is valued at Gartner. And with comprehensive benefits and fair compensation, they know they are set up for financial wellness on top of mental and physical wellness. 

A whopping 96 percent of women who reviewed this Fortune 500 financial services company on Fairygodboss said they believe company leadership supports gender diversity, and reviews on the company culture overall are glowing, too. "This is the best company I've ever worked for — the culture and the opportunities to advance are incredible," wrote one woman. Another similarly said: "The culture here is the best I've ever experienced and has only improved in the time I've been employed here." If you can't say the same about your current employer, you'll be happy to note that The Hartford is currently hiring for positions based in its Connecticut headquarters, as well as across the country.

RingCentral, a publicly traded provider of cloud-based communications, believes that building a family shouldn't come at the expense of one's career. With benefits that include flexible and remote work options as well as on-site nursing facilities, the California-based company — which has been named one of Forbes' Most Trustworthy Companies in America — is all about supporting its talent, both personally and professionally.
