I like working with all sorts of different types of people, as I learn from perspectives different than my own in ways I wasn't expecting to learn, and I find that enjoyable.

I think some men reject the idea of women as competent, or more competent, as them, and tend unconsciously diminish female engineering talent, and you get meetings where the female engineer makes a proposal, and it's ignored, and then a second meeting where a male engineer makes that exact same proposal, and is lauded for the good idea.

I think if Lever is an attractive place for women, it means that the best women engineers and other employees will be more likely to be working there, rather then being devalued elsewhere. I think women that stay in tech and are successful have to be better at their job then men with equivalent roles.

That said, if I was concerned about the quality of their engineering talent, for whatever reason, I'd consider how best to judge them on that in a neutral and quantifiable sense when I interviewed there, rather then using demographics as any sort of signifier of talent.
