IBM

"I've worked here for 30 years. In my career there have been plenty of women in very powerful positions."

"I was laid-off when my daughter was 18 months old. When I returned to work after maternity leave, I was diagnosed with Post partum depression and anxiety. I received zero support from the company - all that matter was my utilization numbers."

"Very little work / life balance - you are expected to work long hours and put your job before all else to stay employed."

"My team was fully supportive of my maternity leave. After the 9 weeks, I was able to work remotely with no issues"

"I've been with IBM for 20 years, and although technical men outnumber technical women by quite a lot, I'm happy to say I've encountered very few problems with sexism - the vast majority of people I've worked with have been respectful, and I feel my ideas and my work have been treated in a very gender-neutral manner. On the downside, I moved up the career ladder while also starting a family, and the amount of work and travel required have increased to the point where I feel I'm going to break. I just cannot recommend this job to anyone who has family responsibilities or doesn't want to live for their job."
