My company offers tuition reimbursement. I'm planning to pursue an MBA. Any tips on which schools to look at to maximize my benefit and time?

I would recommend reviewing their plan because it may only be with a specific group of schools or specific certifications

Good point. Thanks.

Look into WGU. It is self-paced and fully online. I have a friend who got his MBA there and I think a year, maybe 15 months. It's a little bit of a "degree mill" operation, but it's a fully accredited school. I would say it's probably not great for learning, but it's more about testing out and getting the degree based on what you already know. I actually did some courses there and liked it well enough, but I didn't finish.

What’s a good online guide to refer to get details about best schools for an online MBA..there are lots of resources out there and many are promotional material

Some schools that are known for offering strong MBA programs with flexible options are online universities like University of Phoenix or Walden University as well as traditional institutions like University of California, Berkeley or University of Michigan which offer part time and executive MBA programs.

Misled on Maternity Leave Policy. I found out I only get 4 weeks pay for maternity leave (STD +“sick days”). I will take 12 weeks but wont get paid for 8 weeks. I work for a US, west coast based company in the tech/VC industry. Their website claims to offer “paid parental leave and other progressive benefits for parents”. I didn’t find out until after I was hired their pay was only 8 weeks but since I have been at the company less than 12 months, I don’t qualify for their policy. Is this unfair?
