"Totals and % do not include unknown, null, or 'decline-to-state' fields."
Without that information, it's pretty hard to tell how much of an effect it has on those numbers.
- rusabd 12y agooverall, it seems like correct picture
- coherentpony 12y agoA source of information for this fact would be interesting.
- rusabd 12y agolooks like it is Google itself, or you referring to mine?
- coherentpony 12y agoYours.
- rusabd 12y agoI visited an Australian Google office for a tour. After my observation about obvious majority of men (white, asian) in cafeteria I was told a joke that there are more Peters than women in software development.
- coherentpony 12y agoThat's pretty egregious.
- trhway 12y agoit is very easy - any googler i've met personally or what i see commuting in the morning (MV near Rengstorff) is usually a white and sometimes an Asian guy. Similarly to Jobs's "A-people hire A-people" - top college kids doing well in CS algorithms (which would usually be white or Asian guys) would hire the same, ie. top college kids doing well in CS algorithms.
- coherentpony 12y agoWith all due respect, your few data points are hardly a representative sample of Google's workforce. I fully accept that women aren't represented in CS degree courses, and this may be a good argument for the under-representation of women in Google's workforce. For foreigners and people of a different race, it's more difficult. Tuition fees for foreigners is higher, so I'd be willing to believe the are fewer foreign students studying CS than domestic students. For domestic students of a particular race? It's still not entirely clear to me.
- leaveyou 12y agoAre you suggesting Google should hire more people that don't do well in CS algorithms or that non-whites and non-asians are not top college kids or both ? Personally I'm all in for total randomization of hiring. nextEmployee = cvStack[read("/dev/urandom")%len(cvStack)] FTW.

- coherentpony 12y agoAh, cool! Thanks for posting that.
