Each department is its own entity. Some departments are very supportive of their staff, other departments are all about the bottom line.

Make sure you discuss flexible working schedules. It is very 8-5 with little flexibility within those hours.

There are plenty of women in leadership positions, and women are promoted often. The maternity leave is standard, as far as I can tell - we're lucky to have one, but it could be much better.

It's a shame they don't offer any paid maternity leave. We are forced to use all of our vacation and sick time which leaves us with nothing when returning to work. There is also a lot of pressure to come back to work as soon as possible.

-
Recommend to Women?
Maybe. They are a pretty good employer with decent benefits. However, they have no maternity leave so you are forced to use up all your vacation a sick leave. Also, men tend to get promoted over women at times especially when needing to diversify when there is a lot of women.
