Which ones? Sounds like a myth.

  Ok, are you saying that there are no companies that every hire women/minorities to fulfil a quota and appear more diverse? Even though companies like Amazon openly boast that they have certain % of black/asian/latino employees which is apparently meant to show how diverse they are? I mean, if I gave you names, what would you do? ring them up and ask if they have a preference for hiring women? You can say that all of this sounds like a myth as many times as you like, you are not going to change the world this way.

    I'm sure there are some sleazeball companies that do but I don't believe this sort of unspoken policy has any significant prevalence. If you name names, I can determine truth independently. If you don't feel comfortable doing so, that's okay too. I just won't know. And that's not the end of the world.

      Why do you think they'd have to be sleazeballs to do this? Everyone is screaming at them that the industry has a "woman problem" and that it's their fault for not hiring enough of women. It is more a case of the squeaky wheel getting the grease.

        Hiring people without a skill test solely to fill a quota? Engineers are expensive so I'm suspicious of people who will just hire people like that. Also, it doesn't quite address the actual issue. It's a very superficial response.
