Facebook Diversity
- Facebook RPM - Diversity Hires only Controversial opinion: FB using RPM to get diversity hires. Had a cheeky search on Linkedin to look at all the RPM hires over the past few years. Every single one of them has been a woman and more likely than not, a woman of colour. I even watched a video where a current FB PM said that when she we
- Diversity at Facebook... Spoke to someone today and this individual said that nearly half of their “diverse” candidates get hired. I challenged the person on that and told her I would show her my data about conversion rates of diverse candidates in the tech industry —conversion rates meaning what population of the diverse l
- Facebook diversity hiring Hey FBers, when you provide feedback for an interviewee, do you have a place on your feedback form to make notes about diversity characteristics (a quick note saying e.g. underrep. minority)? What kind of criteria are listed on the feedback form? I assume it's a form, not free text.
- Facebook RPM - Low Hiring Standards/Diversity Hires Just scrolling across Linkedin today and came across someone posting about being an incoming RPM candidate. Out of curiosity I click into their profile. Boston University No Internships except one called in an risk analysis role at a non profit Black female I was kind of shocked at how they made

- vote Netflix isn’t a tech company. Change my mind. A tech company in todays world implies a few things. Namely that you work with technology (synonymous with anything touching computers these days, which I think is a fallacy, but I digress). But also that you are high growth and “innovating”. When we look at Netflix, it should be obvious that all th

So, there's Facebook/Meta, Apple, Amazon and Google/Alphabet - all massive technology companies with multiple, diverse hardware and software products - who are also continually trying to innovate and create the next big technology "thing."

- How is this legal? I’m all for diversity, but how can this person at Facebook explicitly target certain types of people? What if someone said they wanted Chinese or Indian or Rwandan people? Also, as a Latina I really get sick of the whole Latinx thing. And enough with “womxn” please. It’s just so disingenuous after
- meritocracy in silicon valley is officially dead – diversity killed it time to find a new industry. observations: 1) google and fb are so afraid of the outside and improving their diversity metrics that they have now instituted quotas for hiring only female candidates. 2) i recently interviewed a fb product manager candidate that should not have been hired but was hi
- Best 401k Company Match So Google/MS/FB all seem to match up to 50% of the max limit of 401k contributions. Any other company that does better? 100% up to 10% of salary maybe? Curious what's the diversity of plan matchings out there, albeit lack of other perks (vesting cycle, fund options, etc).

- vote Tech is Diverse but Segregated Do you agree? Tech is diverse in the sense that we have proportionately more non whites than other industry. I define Asian != White, and Indian != White.
