      "If you want to work here thinking you will be developed and promoted, you will be developed only if you take the initiative to do it on your own. Promotions are scarce and do not come with appropriate salary increases. A woman is promoted to a job previously held by a man and she is paid significantly less for the same job and with a lesser title to boot. Regular merit increases are insulting for the amount of work you are expected to do and the hours you work. "

      "There are many women in leadership in my department, but few with children. The consulting lifestyle is a difficult one for a woman or man with primary childcare responsibilities, so there seems to be a solid gap of very few women from 30-40 years old. However, the company has a female CEO, which is encouraging!"

      "Many women hold senior positions. Gender does not seem to play a role in North America promotions. However, Indian promotions are very different. Female employees in India are much more likely to be held back from promotions simply due to their personalities or behavior seemingly against the female norms of Indian culture."

      "I've worked here for 7 years and there are a lot of women in middle management roles, but none in upper level management. I've never personally experienced sexism, but there's a subtle issue of women not advancing in to higher level roles."

      "I worked at Aon for two years. In that time, I noticed a few different things about my department and other departments. HR was a great place to be a woman - very flexible, working from home, women in more senior roles. However, in other parts of the organization I know that we are the outliers. Other groups were not flexible about working from home, maternity leaves, etc. A new mom told me she had to pump at work and her manager brought it up in her review that she "wasn't at her desk enough" to ensure she was being productive. Ludicrous! I think I would advise women to be very careful. It's not the best environment and I don't see a lot of powerful women willing to mentor there."
