offer diverse perspectives and voices to our readers, and the only way to have meaningful diversity at work is to foster an inclusive environment. Diversity for us includes, but is not limited to, gender, ethnicity, race, culture, socio-economic background, religion, age, physical ability, veteran status, country of origin, primary language, sexuality, political preference, education, and family makeup.</p><h1 id="f8fb" class="pc pd gu bf pe pf pg hu ph pi pj hx pk pl pm pn po pp pq pr ps pt pu pv pw px bk">The Data</h1><p id="44ab" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nx ny gu nz b hs py ob oc hv pz oe of og qa oi oj ok qb om on oo qc oq or os gn bk">Every year, we send an optional survey to our staff to gather demographic information and give employees a chance to voice whether they feel our workplace is diverse and inclusive. We sent the survey to staff hired up until November 13, 2018 and the responses are valid as of November 30, 2018. A few notes on the data:</p><ul class=""><li id="0353" class="nx ny gu nz b hs oa ob oc hv od oe of og oh oi oj ok ol om on oo op oq or os qd qe qf bk">The survey is anonymous and optional for all employees.

We do not separate the demographics for other functional groups because their small size precludes anonymity.</li><li id="9dd2" class="nx ny gu nz b hs qg ob oc hv qh oe of og qi oi oj ok qj om on oo qk oq or os qd qe qf bk">Senior employees are defined as individuals who are in one of the top three levels of our six-tier internal leveling system.</li></ul><h1 id="49b9" class="pc pd gu bf pe pf pg hu ph pi pj hx pk pl pm pn po pp pq pr ps pt pu pv pw px bk">Who We Are</h1><p id="84f4" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nx ny gu nz b hs py ob oc hv pz oe of og qa oi oj ok qb om on oo qc oq or os gn bk">As of November 13, 2018, we are comprised of 98 employees that identify mostly as introverts and ambiverts. We enjoy both outdoor and indoor activities, with a slight preference for staying indoors. Our current employees are based all over the US, with 75% of the company in San Francisco, 15% in New York and the rest working remotely.

For the tech roles, the split is 31.5% (-6.5pp from 2017) female and 68.5% male, while for non-tech roles, the ratio of female and male employees is even at 50% (+14pp for female held positions from 2017).
