    I was surprised to see Intel wasn’t in the top five, although happy the company made the list. I work for Intel and I have to say that in my opinion it is a really supportive company for women. The company allows me a very flexible schedule which helps me work around my son’s schedule. They also offer other benefits like scholarships for children of employees.
