> I wonder if even that is true for California tech companies. California cities feature a diversity which is absent from their local tech companies.

Eh, not where I work in CA (which is not Silicon Valley). Of course we aren't called a "tech" company since we do eCommerce and aren't a startup.

We pretty much reflect the local demographics.

That's interesting to hear. Maybe my theory is all wrong.

I guess I was thinking mostly of the small, VC funded startups, and the big, name-brand tech companies mentioned the article.

Tbh, it probably has something to do with the fact we don't hire based on school name at all or even degree. We just care if you can perform X business function and have a couple years experience at it.

The OP pretty much only lists "Tech companies from SV" so it seems to me at least its a cancer specific to that group.
