"There is immense flexibility for higher level personnel, but lower level do not have flexibility of hours, even in non-customer facing positions. Remote work for lower level positions is not common, but again higher level positions have the freedom to do so."

"In my particular department (administrative), men are definitely given much more flexibility, consideration and respect. The working attitude is "if you're not at your desk, you're not working." There is lots of lipservice given to teamwork, inclusivity, diversity, synergy, blah blah blah, but the reality is exactly the opposite."
