Wow...this is big.
Wow...this is big.
On the reverse side, an ethnic quota system is likely to be adapted by other large tech companies in order to avoid lawsuits.
They are one of the most outwardly testosterone-y companies anywhere. That kind of bullshit is catnip for fratbro types, who trend white.
To generalise an entire company, a kind of global one at that, as that, just comes of as incredibly bitter and nieve.
They pay a lot of money to build that persona. Unreadable this, unbeatable that, sailboats, fighter jets, etc. I was in a meeting when some SVP dude called on us. His big story was how when they bought Sun they hit their target for shutting down EMEA Sun operations, but in doing so fucked their customers and they couldn't ship product for 3-4 months. It was pitched as a "good" story.
I have no idea what the culture is like inside. I'm exclusively commenting on how they portray themselves to people sending them bags of money.

A company stating it's "unbeatable", has "sailboats", or whatever, again, has nothing to do with "testerone".
In fact, you'll find that for ever rich male CEO/owner of a company with a sailboat bragging about it, there will be a rich female CEO/owner of a sailboat bragging about it.
You may have been mixed up since there are less female CEO's, so it seems that it's a "male thing", but really, every study shows that when but in the right position, females and males will do equally fantastic, or horrible, or stupid things.
I think maybe you need to make things less about "male vs female"?
