Cisco transforms how people connect, communicate and collaborate. They influence how the world develops. Cisco gives you the opportunity to work all over the world with many different nationalities and cultures.

2. Progressiveness - GOOGLE

Citi isn't trying to be diverse - They are already are! Citi is a miniature United Nations where what counts is delivery rather than gender, race, age or anything else.

Glenda Stone TOP 50 quote

Dr Glenda Stone, CEO of Aurora that manages the annual TOP 50 initiative said:

"High performing employees tend to be more selective about where they want to work and why. They also demonstrate considerable control over their job application process rather than randomly applying for unknown organisations where there is no information about what is on offer. When women make diligent choices about where to work and they get themselves into a good organisation, their career is more likely to flourish and their job satisfaction will be a lot higher. It is important to note that there is no such thing as 'companies for women' or 'jobs for the girls'. There are, however, some organisations that are clearly more progressive than others."
