The FAANG I'm at bends over backwards to find diamonds in the rough, but for the most part, they weren't at even a second-tier tech firm for a reason.
It reminds me of how Cal graduation rates went up when they couldn't use racial quotas.

- threadweaver34 4y agoTrue. It's absolutely a pipeline problem, and "tech" isn't even the solution as much as improving educations overall. I also thing home environment has something to do with it, and there's only so much public schools can do there.

We’d all benefit from your inside view of positive support for people with potential at some of the largest, sometimes hated for their perceived indifference/profit-above-all, tech companies.
