"Two of the senior male leaders explicitly stated the following: Men don’t bond with a baby in the first year, they continuously asked about my return after maternity leave and told me how they understood if I chose not to return (there was never a question about me not returning) - the bias here was both of them had wives at home choosing to take care of the children (completely fine, just don’t lump every woman in the same pot), you should hire the beat person for the job - not “just” take a chance on a woman (in principle makes sense…how are they removing their unconscious bias from this?). Clear nepotism for men who were “buddies” and didn’t want to fire them despite being non performers (too many excuses made) - women were judged more harshly in their performance. On paper it looks fair and equitable, but in practice, an uncomfortable hustle culture that promotes men to senior men for being “a good guy”. "

"In the tech and data science departments, it's mainly men in the leadership roles. "

"Good maternity leave, good flexibility. Pace is relentless, some chauvinism, nepotism. "

"The flexibility is incredible, and so is the community. The focus on personal and professional growth is something I haven't experienced anywhere else. You really are given the power to own your own development and succeed. "

"This company really does walk the walk rather than just talk about it. Lots of policies and lots of actual examples of them working in reality. "
