"IBM is amazing w/ maternity leave....very supportive. My daughter is 13 now, however when I took maternity leave, I was given a counselor to help with nursing and free Medela breast pump equipment. As soon as my daughter was born, I began working from home full time. 13 years later, I am still working from home and never miss a beat with her school or sporting events, yet have great opportunities to grow my career!!!"

"Your work/life balance and flexibility mostly depends on the clients you are working for; often if they do not want you leaving the office, you have to abide by their rules and not IBM's more flexible policies. "

"Flexibility has to be driven by the employee in terms of what is required/desired and supported by managers. Of course job committments need to be met - but the women who balance all three do very well."

"After over two decades at IBM, I have always felt supported and encouraged as a women. Gender, truly never seems to play a role in any decision or strategy - at least, not in a negative way. There are several policies to encourage and promote women internally. IBM has all the resources and support to raise great women leaders - Ginny is a fantastic role model."

"I have taken 3 maternity leaves at IBM. In Canada - women are entitled to one-year of maternity leave with capped government financing available. IBM supplemented the government support each time to raise me to 80% of my salary for the first 6 weeks of the one-year leave."
