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. Valerie Maslak
