Women's Job Satisfaction (5=very satisfied)
January 1970
Overall it's a great place to work, with tons of extremely talented, hard-working women throughout the company, though there aren't enough women at the C level, or on the engineering team. GA as a whole is extremely inclusive but some leadership can be tone deaf about D&I issues. Have not experienced any kind of sexual harassment or discrimination. There are quite a few women who have gone on maternity leave since I've been here; from what I've seen there is support from them, and have seen some promoted after returning (i.e., it does not seem to hold women back from success at the company).

Pretty young company, but hiring more seasoned professionals who have families so you don't feel like you're the only person balancing a family and work.

Maybe. If you come in senior enough, there is a potential path upward as a female

The guys who work at GA are very supportive and outspokenly feminist. There are also a lot of female employees, although not a high proportion of female engineers.

One of the executives didn't take any time off when he had a kid. It was his third kid so it's not like he was new at fatherhood, but I thought it still sent a message about his priorities and his perception of how executives should work.

Instructor
January 1970
If you are an instructor, they are great at being flexible and allowing you to suggest your own dates for classes. They just changed how they pay and it has totally ripped the teachers off. There is no motivation to bring in more students when you don't get paid "per-student" and instead get paid "per hour."

The team at this company is really great. There are a lot of women and men and women are, for the most part, treated equally but the company definitely employs mostly younger folks so there aren't as many resources for folks with families and the paid leave policy is minimal (although very easy to get set up and approved).

Maybe. Job satisfaction, upward mobility, and flexibility rely on employee's manager so if you have a great manager, it is fantastic, but if you don't, or your manager changes, it could be a very negative experience.
