Harvard Business Review found that women quit high tech jobs at twice the rate of men. Among the most frequently cited reasons women gave for leaving, it said, were extreme pressure and a hostile culture.

Yeah, organizations that value product & results over process & "group-think" tend to seem that way--don't they?
