Just a small additional comment - if a company creates an environment that encourages community then they will keep women. I was lucky to work at two companies like this - Xerox and early Apple. I don't think they set out to create a family friendly environment. They were trying to have an environment that encouraged creativity. They were part of the zeitgeist of the Bay Area. It just happened to also be family friendly. Those days are gone (sadly).
- 75dvtwin 7y agoFor me 'family friendly' means 4-day or less work week, 6 hours a day. Flexibility to take time off with a short notice, office politics that does not induce constant stress and suspicion of being stabbed in the back. And being around your young children (before 7 years old), most of the time they are awake.
