When I read this article my first thought was cool, great to see women in tech. Than my first question was what is their ratio of women to men in their application process and how does it compare to the industry ratio?
I suspect that because of the nature of their business less men apply compared to woman in relation to the industry average. As a person I apply to companies I am interested in and would not see myself applying to work at Sephora currently. I would see myself applying to mlb.tv for example since I like baseball.

- whamlastxmas 9y agoI'm a guy but I have a woman's name, I wonder if that would give me an advantage in the hiring process?
- notyourwork 9y agoThat is a really interesting thought. My wife, a R.N. has a male name and she wonders if she easily received interviews after graduation due to the same. There are few males in nursing.
- mattmaroon 9y agoMy guess is men are actually overrepresented if 37% of their tech team is male. It seems highly unlikely male applicants would be that frequent.
- whamlastxmas 9y agoProbably depends on a lot on where they advertise job openings.
