Something this article doesn’t mention: it’s pretty well established by research that having diverse teams increases creativity and innovation, something that you’d think Silicon Valley tech companies would be all over.

But the big tech companies are mostly hiring very few people who aren’t young straight white men, and those who are hired don’t feel welcome.

(The article also doesn’t discuss numbers of Indian and Asian hires – typically large in tech in my experience, but since I’m far from Silicon Valley and don’t have figures to hand, I’m not sure about this one way or the other.)
