She has had telephonic, video and on site interviews. Out of 8 employees she met only one was a woman. The woman was in product management. Google claims that 20% of its tech employees are women. Is that really true for Google engineering or RND?
Does that bother her or bother you?!
We are both trying to find out the truth....
Why? Just to stir up some drama? It's a tech company that hires the best talent. Are you suggesting they should lower the bar and give preferential treatment to some candidates?
I mean... she’s a woman in tech and unfortunately that means equality numbers are not going to be in her favor. The best bet is finding a team with an acceptable balance within any company.
We want to know what percentage of the team in RND is female.... Sounds like the percentage is below 5%
Why is this so impodtant to you?
Tech roles include product management and many others besides engineering. Anyway, I would advise accepting or declining the role based on her interest in the company, it’s projects, and how it will advance her own career. We already know the numbers for women in tech are overall shitty, so there’s no point to dwelling on it.
Would you agree that in RND and engineering, it is going to be 95% female...
I meant 95% male
yea stop hiring men until gender equality is achieved. Also consider trans and non binary representation
‘the woman was in product’ hahah does that mean product is not a tech role because it does not involve black screens and sandals with white socks?
A pm is not an engineer, no.
Holy shit congratulations to her. Thanks for being so supportive
What’s a telephonic interview? Kinda like a telepathic?
OP is most likely not a native speaker.
Who cares? The market is the market. Just because a bunch of women want more women in tech doesn't mean it'll happen just because they wish it. If more women study CS and start working in tech, then you'll see a more balanced population of engineers. At the moment, most tech workers are guys, and that is who Google will hire.
29% of CS grads are female, however in top tech companies , percentage of women is around 5 to 10%. This is what I am hearing. What is your perception?
Perception is.. you are female and fighting on wrong platform by hiding identity. Grow up and leetcode to get hired
She got hired at google and this is your concern...worry about meaningful stuff
Male dominated places are also hostile to women. She has had bad experience with sexual harassment...
Most women in engineering roles at Google are treated very well. Many female engineers gravitate to product management or TPM roles because they find them more interesting. Pure RND has a somewhat dorky reputation. She should not hesitate. Take the job

No those numbers are overall considering every role in the company. The core technical roles are rarely given to women and if you go by that you will get less than 5% .

It's more like 9% female SWEs
