[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spent 10+ years at Booz Allen. Totally NOT family friendly. Left a year after I had my first. How that company has made Working Mothers magazine every year is a joke. I left for the federal government 6 years ago and love my job and where I work. Completely different than I thought it would be, for the most part. And family friendly.[/quote]

I'd say most of the big firms on that list are the least family-friendly. DH and many friends at PricewaterhouseCoopers experienced same. It was all talk.[/quote]

I work for one of the big four and find it very family friendly, BUT it depends on your job within the firm, big time. If you are on the partner track, yeah, you are going to put the hours in and if you work directly with clients you will likely to have travel a lot. I am not in a client facing role and not on a partner track so my area is very family friendly:

-great maternity leave (6 months is standard, much of it paid)
-teleworking options - in my division standard is once a week with options for additional days as things come up 
-a good amount of PTO

My husband also works for a family friendly, big corporation. He can't telework regularly but has a very flex schedule. [/quote]
