      "It’s a young work culture. Ageism is subtle, but exists. Gender bias is less prevalent."

      "Very flexible for both genders to have lives outside of work. Both male and female bosses are transparent and clear about things like having to leave early to pick kids up from childcare, taking time off over their kids vacations, etc etc. Can work for a few weeks from different countries, as long as I have an internet connection, which is a real perk. Women are respected and expected to voice their opinions. There is a lot of honest conversation around gender issues, as there are about everything else at an open-source company. You are expected and welcomed as your whole self at work. Very refreshing."

      "Look for alternative forms of employment. Many ideas expressed as strategic objectives (i.e. improving the culture, promoting & listening to women, etc) are simply corporate hypocrisy and politicking at its best. "

Additionally, at other offices in the area, maternity / nursing rooms doubled as video game room for the men."

      "Everything is dependent on your manager at Red Hat. Great manager can protect your work/life balance and support your family goals. It is definitely a tech company and can be weighted toward men, particularly in sales and engineering. Be sure to talk to as many people as possible about the specific team you are looking at. Infertility benefits are strange, covering medications but only if they are used for treating other medical issues. Vacation and sick days are all rolled into one and there's a mandatory week off in December (for NA) and you must take PTO. The women's leadership group has a great mailing list but events are few and far between. There is no official mentoring program but there are some fantastic women who are willing to reach across departments and roles to help. "
