I've seen this first hand. When people where interviewing for work experience during college, a very lucrative top tech company hired two girls who had bad grades, no side projects and wore very VERY casual attire to their interviews. One was even late. Two other male students also had been interviewed. Both had very high grades, worked on side projects etc. and weren't socially inept.
Will the industry just accept that the majority of women are just not interested? Companies are running special events for women compsci students only.
Sick of this notion that we can achieve equality by excluding men.
- itsdrewmiller 9y agoMaybe top tech companies don't actually care what you wear to your interview? Maybe the "girls" were better whiteboard coders than the "male students"?
- poo_wee 9y agoI know it doesn't fit your world view. I'm sorry. They aren't. I've been on teams with both parties. Companies had mentioned dress code for the interviews. You would think punctuality would be important, especially for an interview? They were filling quotas. Unlucky.
- itsdrewmiller 9y agoYou sure this is a top tech company? What top tech company mentions dress code (beyond something like "don't worry about it")?
