Approximate time: 1 Hour with Q&A

You are on the job market, considering a new career move, or planning your next step. Perhaps you are lucky enough to be entertaining offers from multiple companies. Are you interviewing your potential employers as diligently as they are interviewing you? The fact is, the culture and the group you select will be important factors in your future career success. Unwelcoming cultures, inflexible schedules, unsupportive managers, lack of support, and bias and stereotyping are known barriers to women in technology fields and key sources of turnover. What should you look for in a work culture as a technical woman? These factors depend on which career stage you are at. In this webinar, we will discuss the known hallmarks of a sound culture for technical women, and the specific questions you should ask before saying "I do."
