It’s been quite a week in tech, with now-former Google engineer James Damore’s controversial post about gender going viral and his subsequent firing. So, right on cue, workplace culture and company review platform Comparably has come out with a ranking of the top 10 tech companies for people of color, as well as the top 10 for women.
Because gender is top of mind for a lot of people right now, let’s first take a look at that. Salesforce is No. 1, with a score of 82, Apple comes in at No. 9 with a score of 78 and Facebook is ranked No. 10 with a score of 77. Here’s the full list for gender:
- Salesforce (82)
- Adobe (80)
- Intuit (80)
- T-Mobile (79)
- LinkedIn (79)
- Accenture (79)
- PayPal (78)
- Workday (78)
- Apple (78)
- Facebook (77)
Comparably’s gender score is based on how female employees rate their experience at a respective company, while the “diversity” score is based on how employees of color rate their experience at a company. All of the ratings were collected between March 2016 and August 2017. As you may have noticed, Google is not on the top 10 list for gender.

- VMWare (81)

Comparably has raised more than $12 million, with its most recent round coming in at $7.25 million earlier this year. Since launching in March 2016, Comparably’s goal has been to provide more transparency and opportunity in the workplace.
