"Potentially a great place to grow, but the 'bro' culture amongst especially engineers still runs very deep, and leadership seems unable to understand that it's less about the behaviour of individuals and more about the culture which enables it. "

"The average employee is a 28 year old, male who is unmarried and without kids. The few women will use there gender status to prop up and extremely sexist culture. There's no future for anyone with kids or looking to grow their career. And as a result, turnover is the highest I've ever seen."

"It's so competitive that if you try to take the flexible work arrangements or other benefits, it will be seen as weakness and used against you by peers and management. "
Did you take Maternity leave?
"No"
"I was breastfeeding at work and this was completely disrespected. Meetings would be scheduled over times I needed to pump. I had to change my pumping schedule multiple times to accommodate changes in overnight meetings. Ethics helpline, senior management and the EEOC did nothing. From peers to the legal department, no one speaks out about the violations. However free food and lactation rooms shouldn't be an excuse for discrimination, so parents need to know what they are getting into because your family life will be violated."
