"You will learn to tolerate being treated like a second-class citizen. Your management will tell you that gender bias doesn’t exist. Honestly, everything about the large tech companies from interview to employment is just hazing masquerading as normalcy. It’s no different here. There’s an obsession with hiring the best of the best. Put 10 socially inept “best” on a team, and you get most teams at Microsoft, Google and Amazon. If the teams were more diverse they would be smarter. It’ll be years before that sinks in. "

"As above, I don't think this employer is biased against women I think it's more biased against people who are introverted and want to be rewarded based on skills rather than connections. As a woman, you have to be a strong character who will stand out against both men and women in order to do well."

"My department tolerates my need for a flexible schedule, but I don't think it's overall the feeling at the company to allow for flexibility for working parents."
