Pros

Many employees are competent, respectful, and pleasant to work with. The vacation package is good compared to some other companies, but not the best for what progressive companies are offering.

Cons

Toxic masculinity is rampant, which is not surprising since leadership (and the workforce as a whole) is majority white and male. While the organization has implemented some groups such as Women in Engineering, the burden to support women is placed on the women themselves. I have witnessed and hear heard too many stories of “senior” employees exhibiting unprofessional behavior. It’s not okay to call your coworker “idiotic” because you don’t agree with them. It’s not okay to tell women in an aggressive how you think they should do their job when you are not their supervisor. The paid parental leave (6 weeks) that they just rolled out is a joke compared to the paid leave the other offices outside of North America receive.

Advice to Management

Stop putting the responsibility of fixing a toxic work culture on women. Hold toxic employees accountable for their unacceptable behavior instead of advising women how they should respond to the behavior. I doubt you will achieve your goal 30% women employees with the lackluster benefits and anti-women culture you have in place.
