Microsoft Diversity
- vote MSFT Diversity Discrimination? Wondering if y’all have seen a pretty ridiculous push lately at msft to hire less qualified diversity candidates over more qualified non-minority candidates, and if you think it’s right or not. Personally, I have noticed literally the last 10 hires in my org have been diversity candidates where the
- Diversity at Microsoft Does Microsoft even have some sort of diversity or is it now full of Indians? I get approached by the Microsoft recruiters but I feel like under the guise of diversity and inclusion, Microsoft has actually filled up Indians and skewed the diversity to the other extreme.

- Microsoft Diversity Reality? Hi there, A year ago I was determined to get a job at Microsoft, I like how the company has changed under the new leadership and my resume was able to get me some traction from HR and a few interviews.

- vote Diverse hiring for L67 GPM in Microsoft. What the hell is wrong with people? Just saw an internal mail with above title. Why do you want to hire a diverse candidate? Why not check for merit and competence to hire someone? It has become a cool thing now. By doing this you are discriminating against others, how is that justifiable? #tech
- Is it true that Microsoft does diversity hiring the most? I know a lot of tech companies practice diversity hiring whether for good or bad reason. But I read somewhere that Microsoft does it the most and they give incentives to people who participate in EXPLORE? Can anyone at microsoft elaborate?

- How does hiring and promoting for diversity help a company succeed? In large US corporations there's an emphasis on hiring "diversity" candidates and promoting them to leadership positions.
