I went and found Slack's diversity report and they have more white people than anyone else mentioned in the article: https://slackhq.com/inclusion-and-diversity-at-slack-e42f93845732#.caxjzqld1 https://slackhq.com/inclusion-and-diversity-at-slack-e42f938... And even Google has more Women in engineering. I'm not sure if they're really in a position to be lecturing everyone, especially considering they're burning money and running at a much smaller scale. Interestingly, in the Ars comments someone made a good point about how these companies draw from an international pool of candidates, so maybe it's not correct to compare their entire working populations to US ethnic demographics. I don't know if these companies have this info, but it would be super interesting to get these statistics for employees who were born in the US or emigrated there as children. Though the numbers on women would remain lackluster. All of this makes me much more sympathetic to Facebook's stance on this, that this is a pipeline problem. Only 18% of CS degrees are going to Women: https://ngcproject.org/statistics https://ngcproject.org/statistics Until we fix that, these companies will be fighting over the same pool of talent.
