I think it's worth pointing out that this kind of male dominated culture doesn't just put off female engineers but male engineers too. As a male I've worked in environments with a high male to female ratio and it makes for a stifling homogeneous type of culture. I've never experienced the kind of sexist culture described at Uber but I imagine that must feel even worse as a male employee. I definitely see few women as a warning sign when interviewing.
- jordigh 10y agoI totally feel the same way too (edit: but almost certainly not worse than how it feels for women). Having worked in both mixed and segregated teams, I much prefer having a good mix. It feels much more natural and normal.
- cjbprime 10y agoI don't know what you mean by "even worse as a male employee", but I suspect you've drastically misspoken; you might want to fix that.
- bendoernberg 10y agoI think he may have meant "worse even as a male employee" or something to that effect.

- wolf550e 10y ago'spuz is familiar with male-dominated environments and finds them stifling. 'spuz is unfamiliar with a place as bad as what is described in the article and speculates that he would like that less.
- spuz 10y agoYes that's what I meant. Definitely did not mean to say it would be worse as a male than as a female so sorry if there was confusion.
