I know there are sites that ask "how much you're earning as a software developer" or whatever, to get an idea about how much people are getting paid for a type of job.

But is there a website where it basically gives asks you to choose the company name, then whether you're male or female, white or black, etc?

I think such a site could give us a much better idea of how companies treat their employees.

It's only in their "diversity report". If you do a salary search on glassdoor there is no option to list by gender or ethnicity.

Isn't that a good thing?

...no? How are you supposed to figure out whether pay is biased by gender or ethnicity then?

Pay shouldn't be biased by gender or ethnicity. Which is why I'm confused on why you want to see the salary based on these factors. What about reports of single vs married people? Or based on height? Or ugly people? What's the point on playing with these numbers?

Seriously, do you plan to negotiate your salary based on some factors that have less than nothing to do with the job itself?
