is it true that Adobe HR discourages hiring males
One of their engineers is complaining about HR passes only female candidates resumes with their reasoning of Equal opportunity. Now Adobe has interns that 80% are females. and 40% of engineer positions are filled with females even though there are more male applicants. Is that true? I am a female engineer and this sounds a total gender discrimination. Ive never experienced this kind of hiring process. TC: 325k, YOE: 10
Probably makes sense since my resume didn't get past the recruiter. Recruiter gave me the feedback that the manager is not interested at this time so who knows.
Its time we fix the damage we have done to women by excluding them from software!
Sounds like a good plan! Let's implement it from Monday
You mean women who didn't participate in STEM programs and therefore were left out?
Where are all these women I've never seen. My entire life's a lie...
This is 100% not accurate. Adobe makes an effort to encourage diversity by doing things such as building relationships with technical organizations that are diverse (Girls Who Code,etc), but that is to focus on bringing more diversity to our candidate pipeline (which should theoretically lead to more diverse hires). I’ve never once heard HR or the recruiting team encourage managers to hire based on gender. It is true that interns are generally more diverse than the rest of the population (though not sure of the accuracy of that 80% number), but the college demographics are more diverse than the current market. Also keep in mind that Adobe hires interns that are both technical and nontechnical.
I guess some of their male employees perception are very off. Their HR needs to do something to resolve the misunderstanding and complaints. This kind of reverse gender discrimination will/can backfire females.
There is no such thing as reverse discrimination, there is only discrimination.
I haven't ever been asked to hire a particular gender. BUT if I only receive resumes of a particular gender from sourcing, what could that mean? There have been multiple instances where hiring was delayed significantly because the resumes were initially all of one gender and then from one race, when the skillsets that we needed - for good or bad - had mostly a vast number of the "privileged" group.
Never heard of this! Yes lots of interns are female, but very few are from STEM background, nor are they working in a STEM role (a lot of interns seem to be in HR/recruiting/employee experience, likely because of DM!).
Cultivating family in the long run between its employees
It’s like a rumor and this post is not from Adobe employee. In my team 7 men and 1 woman.
I heard it from a adobe engineer directly. I think he was just a jerk/looser who does not like any female joining in his team.
Wow Roku pays well eh!
80% females😲. Do you have any openings in your team?
Well. I’m not at Adobe
