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?
