I’m probably just cynical but this seems like it’s just Google trying to pat themselves on the back for “improving diversity”.

Grow with Google but still not good enough to get into Google.

If Google really wants to improve diversity, how about changing the interview process so it’s not biased towards Ivy League grads. Most people of color aren’t there.
