      "They are good at putting women at the top and hiring them at the bottom. But in the middle that is where they really suffer. Despite many presentations saying that they are changing it and things will be looked at, there still continue to be teams of middle and upper management that are men only."

      "It is a conservative company. Most functions are male-centric. Flexibility is very dependent on your department and, in many cases, your direct leader."
