I've worked at a company that clearly had a brogrammer, hostile environment vibe, which the people in power were simply not conscious of.

I'm happy to report that over several years, attitudes improved, more women got hired, and the environment became much better.

It took effort and strategic issue framing from those of us who wanted to see change, and it took flexibility from those who decided to become part of the change -- but it happened.
