      "It's a good company to work for if you're a women but it does vary by function and team you work in. To get to the top though it is predominantly men."

      "Extremely long hours, no balance, have to work on holidays and weekends as well for no additional pay. No diversity, predominantly indian male population whos only aim in life is to work with nothing else going on."

      "I've worked here for 4 1/2 years and there are a lot of women working here, but predominantly in support roles. Generally I believe they are treated fairly but management is male-dominated and not diverse, which makes it tougher for women to "network" with them. Mid-level women don't seem to advance because of these subtle issues. Also, while maternity leave is generous here I think women are judged harshly by some colleagues and managers for taking the full time."

      "I've worked here for 2 years, have a very supportive manager. They pay us well, but the only draw back of being a woman in sales here is that we only get a portion of our sales commission while we're out. It's difficult to take more than the 6 weeks they pay, during maternity leave, but it's definitely an option. Tech as we know is a very male dominated industry, but I've seen many women do very well here."
