If we have doubts on the culture of the company, it may be a good idea to talk directly to their public relations department or an informal chat with women who currently work at Github and get a firsthand view of the place and not be biased with reports in media, especially the old ones.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks,<br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Senthil</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div></div>
