Companies that are Pro Work Life Balance/Family
-
Would love to hear from everyone about companies that are family forward. I've heard there are great companies out there that don't just say they are family friendly, but truly are!
For example, flexibility when it comes to kids activities, school related volunteer opportunities etc.
Thinking of this on a U.S. based as a lot of jobs are remote these days!! Let's hear them!

There is a company called The Mom Project that specializes in placing moms in flexible roles. There are additional filters such as "part time", remote only, contract vs salary etc I had a friend who is an attorney find her current position through their website. I love the concept! Hire more moms!!

Chatbooks is the BEST!! I’ve been working there almost 8 years and they have an incredible work life balance with unlimited PTO and most of the positions are remote

I feel like a lot of the time it’s less about a company-wide reputation but just finding the right teams within them. I know Google for instance has great parental leave (I think my husband got something like 3 months when we had our 2nd) plus a stipend for new parents. But it’s a gamble if you end up on a chill team or not.
I was trying to find some good info online and this blog had a great list of companies that offer daycare AT work which would be pretty sweet: https://www.inhersight.com/blog/inclusive-benefits/companies-that-offer-daycare-at-work

It’s less about the company and more about the manager. Obviously you want to pick a company that shows it values family and work life balance through its policies but it’s another thing to ensure your management has empathy for the working parent. I look at and weigh the manager more heavily than the company itself
