I work for a fortune 100 tech company as an IC, here's what I've noticed.
- All managers have gone through training w.r.t unconscious bias and the companies initiative to diversity and inclusion.
- Recruiters have worked w/ organizations like Code 2040 and events like Afrotech (which is awesome by the way) to reach out to minority candidates.
- The Employee Resource Groups have been given additional funding to help retain new employees.
- The company has been transparent in answering questions related to "quotas" and the like.
- More recruiting has been focused on HBCUs
