A somewhat unpc question do people really consider those 4 questions the most important criteria ?
- ihsw2 9y agoI don't think so, this is basically a fluff piece about identity politics. There isn't any mentioning of basic things like: * salary/equity rationing policies * work-life balance and when/where crunch time is necessary * growth/expansion planning (ie: from whom are the ideas coming from, from where are quantitative traction measurements coming from) and investment expectations (eg: business connections, networking, etc) * how management is handling product hiccups (eg: pivoting), turn-over (eg: burn-out/mental health), public image blunders (eg: Uber-level PR nightmares with massive loss of face) * communication channels between executive/non-executive decision making groups (ie: company direction transparency) * mentoring and on-boarding new team members * company's relationship with the tech community (eg: open-source contributions, meet-up hosting)

Or encouraging readers to view Glassdoor reviews, speak to employees, observing the pride employees take in their working environment, or assessing the leadership of the org, for that matter? The amount of defensiveness three sentences about diversity can draw out of people blows my mind a little bit.
