Hi Elpha!Today we published our first report on the top workplaces for women in tech. We built the dataset to make this possible as a community (from folks rating their companies here). Our goal here is to put our collective experience and wisdom to work in order to learn about how better to support women in the workplace and also help each other find great places to work.@InaFried Also covered the insights and our Top 10 List in her newsletter this morning. Here's the article. And ps, you can also ask Ina questions right now on Elpha here.I'm also really excited that some of our partner companies made the Top 10 startups for women as voted by you including:Vanta (with CEO & Elpha member @christina) – https://elpha.com/companies/vantaShelf Engine – https://elpha.com/companies/shelf-engineModern Health – https://elpha.com/companies/modern-healthAptible – https://elpha.com/companies/aptibleSuperhuman – https://elpha.com/companies/superhumanNova Credit – (with Cofounder & Elpha member @NickyG) – https://elpha.com/companies/nova-creditWe are going to continue collecting and publishing company ratings, so rate your company here.Big thank you to @LaniAssaf on the Elpha team for spearheading this work, @Alyona and Thematic for helping us extract insights from your ratings and reviews, @laurahuang, @jenniferkim and @lisaseacat for sharing your expertise with us as part of our writeup on our insights, and @katiestanton for reading drafts of our report and providing input and support.What do you think of our insights and top big companies and startups?

Thanks so much for this opportunity to contribute to this research! So great to see smaller companies being more friendly towards women than large ones. It's counter-intuitive because FAANG tend to have so many perks & benefits, but ultimately, it's not perks what matters. P.S.:If any other companies are surveying your customers/users/members for similar publicly facing research & trends or internal research, and need help analyzing all the open-ended responses, please reach out to me!

I love that you've compiled this research and are publishing this. Working in tech can be so incredibly rewarding, and also full of landmines - I experienced both in my 15 year startup career (before going on my own and becoming a coach). Thank you for sharing!

Insightful report. Found it surprising that FAANG companies had low ratings. Kudos to smaller companies making the workplace a better place for women! Makes me question if company size has got something to do with less women inclusiveness in the workplace. Would the smaller companies making the waves now change when they become bigger?

Yes good question! I was surprised to see that as a whole smaller companies in rated better than larger ones. I think it's definitely a topic to dig into more.

I agree!
