Sexism is not something you "work against" per se, it's something you don't tolerate. The simple answer would be, "we don't hire sexists or tolerate it." They will put themselves in the best light so the question is completely useless. It's like asking if it's a good place to work or if the company promotes from within. Are they really going to say, "no, we see if the boss has any friends who need work."? That's why I say talk to former employees. That's how you get honest answers. | |

That's not a thing you really want to do in an interview. There are better places to find out instead, an interview is supposed to show each person (Interviewer and interviewee) in the best light | |
