I don't think there are many large companies with 50%, but they at least have a significant amount of female engineers. I thought Google was at ~40% but I can't find the reference anymore (searching just shows Google+ stats).
I know 10gen (MongoDB) has at least some female engineers just because one of them helps run the local python meetup
- rachelbythebay 14y agoGoogle? 40% female in eng? I don't think so. You wouldn't be able to find that number online since it's embarrassingly low, and they guard it jealously even internally. In 4.5 years on 3 different projects (SRE team, dev team, different dev team), I was all alone. I should tally up all of the names of my coworkers and see just how it worked out. People came and went but it was always guys replacing guys.
- femsoftwareeng 14y agoAgh, I was hoping I was wrong. This is more in line with my experience. It's a shame they don't release the numbers because it's easy for "40%" to float around the Zeitgeist, concealing a very real problem.
