'Compared with other software engineers, residents received the lowest possible pay for their employment level, a smaller year-end bonus and no stock, creating a compensation deficit "in the mid tens of thousands of dollars," the presentation said.'
If the residents were as qualified as other software engineers they would have joined Google through regular channels and not through the engineering residency program.
> Critics have long argued that Google and its tech industry peers favor white, Asian and male workers in hiring, promotions and pay.
According to Google's 2020 diversity report [1], 51.7% of its workers were white, down from 54.4% in 2019. Since the US is 61.5% white [2], that means whites are under-represented at Google, and increasingly so. How can one then argue they are favored? Why did Reuters not do even the bare minimum in examining these claims critically?
