One of the good ways to find out how a given company treats women is
to take a good lokk at their organization charts, to see how well
represented women are at all levels of management and across
the organization (line/technical as well as support functions).
A computer company that has women managers only in benefits or
marketing is probably NOT a good bet.

Another good way is to ask the question politely in a job interview.
(Frankly, if they resent or act negatively to your asking such a question,
you don't want to work for them.)

By the way, I've heard good things from almost anyone who's worked
at Tandem Computers. We had a representative from Tandem talk to OUR
employee group about their childcare assistance program.
