These 7 Finance Companies are the Best in the Industry for Women

More now than ever, women are working in previously male-dominated fields. And the finance industry is no exception. While working in a traditionally male sphere can be intimidating, companies are making sure to be supportive of female employees by providing the resources they need to excel – whether they're a working mom, a woman facing gender-based biases, or a woman looking for a mentor in a seemingly male-only role. 

Companies are now offering flexible hours, in-house childcare, remote work options, and mentorship programs for women looking to work their way up the corporate ladder. But obviously, some are doing a better job than others. We’ve outlined some of the best finance companies for women and explained why our the reviewers on Fairygodboss love working there.

6. Wells Fargo

One of the things women on Fairygodboss most consistently praise Wells Fargo for? The "amount of opportunity" here.
