Ask HN: Would you be interested in a database of companies demographics?

3 点作者 throwawaynay超过 3 年前
(First of all I&#x27;m not trying to start a heated debate between woke and conservative people, just trying to see if a website like this might interest some of you, or if you think it might be useful to some people, please keep this civil)<p>When I&#x27;m trying to decide if a company is worth working for(or worth supporting) I often find myself looking at their list of employees to find any red flags.<p>Is there an unusually small number of people of color? Is there few women? What kind of people are in charge?(whether at the C-level or managers)<p>Now of course I don&#x27;t expect a statically perfect representation of minorities, given all the socioeconomic differences, but if I see 0(or 1)person of color in a +100 people company, I&#x27;ll probably think that it&#x27;s very fishy, and it happens more than you think.<p>Now I&#x27;m thinking of a tool that could give you detailed statistics about almost any company:<p>-percentage of employees&#x2F;managers&#x2F;executives who are: PoC, women, middle-aged&#x2F;seniors, LGBTQ+<p>-how likely each of these groups are to get promoted<p>-turnover rate for each of these groups<p>I know that this will probably be hard to implement well, but I&#x27;m confident I can do it.<p>I think it could be very useful to some people, to find &quot;healthy&quot; workplaces where they&#x27;re truly accepted&#x2F;valued, not just tolerated, and where they have a fair chance of growing as fast as others.<p>What do you think?

I would find it useful as well, hard to implement though.<p>I would pretty much use it on the opposite spectrum, if a company has too much diversity compared to the normal demographics, that’s a red flag for me. The company is implementing non meritocratic&#x2F;scientific process to hire their employees, I am not interested to join.<p>Regardless of your values, having more information is rarely a bad idea.
