No one there seems to be over 40. I feel excluded, and am being entirely serious here. Also - Twitter have offices in Ireland, don't they? How is religious diversity coming along in the Dublin office? The Catholic-Protestant conflict is less bitter in Dublin than in Belfast, but one cannot pretend discrimination and division is about race everywhere.
Exactly. I see people of both sexes and various shades, who all look the same.
Maybe they realized that 71% of Silicon Valley being foreign-born H1b visa holders isn’t really the best image for ‘diversity’? https://slate.com/technology/2022/11/meta-facebook-layoffs-h... Bonus: almost half of Meta employees are from Asia. Reminds me of a screenshot of WPengines ‘diversity’ pledge on their website that proceeded to state nearly 80% of their staff were female. They changed it not long after.
How about focus on hiring the best people?
Yeah, how about that? Look beyond the Stanford/MIT/Berkeley pipeline, find people who are good, not just part of the techbro club.

The 25% minorities seems trivial to hit with Asians/Indians and is probably naturally higher than that. But wow on the woman quota, I can’t imagine how easy they had to make those interviews to hit that number.

Honest question: do hiring managers look at what college an applicant attended? I don't, couldn't care less about your GPA and what not.

I think the bigger problem here is 50% for women. Mind blowing.
Why is that mind blowing?

If you are hiring equal numbers of women and men from a talent pool which is 80% male then you are almost certainly illegally discriminating on the basis of a protected class.
