FacebookStudy on Gender Bias 'Deeply Disturbing': Employee And Mark Zuckerberg saysgender bias at the company is 'an issue'

An analysis ofdata-released internally atFacebook last September but made public by the Wall Street Journal this week-shows code written by female engineers is rejected 35% more oftenthan code written by male engineers. They also wait 3.9% longer to get theircode accepted and face 8.2% more questions and comments about it. The analysiswas done by a female engineer who worked at Facebook for years. It highlights alack of diversity within the company: Women occupy just 17% of technical rolesat Facebook. The company is only 33% female overall, and only 27% of leadershippositions are held by women, the Verge reports.

A Facebookspokesperson says the employee's analysis was "incomplete andinaccurate." Followup analysis by Jay Parikh, Facebook's head ofinfrastructure, found the discrepancy in rejected code was based on engineers'rank, not gender. This wasn't necessarily a better finding, as it shows femaleengineers may not be getting promoted at the rate of their male colleagues. Oneemployee calls the new analysis "deeply disturbing." Meanwhile, theGuardian reports Facebook's head of HR complained in an internal comment thatthe findings are hurting the company's "recruiting brand," making itharder to hire more women. When asked about the findings, Mark Zuckerbergadmitted gender bias at Facebook is "an issue."

    华尔街日报在本周公布了一份去年9月份在Facebook内部发布的数据分析，分析由一名在Facebook工作多年的女工程师完成的，其显示女性工程师编写的代码被拒绝的概率比男性工程师高出35％。另外女性工程师需要3.9%的额外等待时间来接受代码，以及面对8.2%的额外问题和评论。这份数据也突显出公司内部缺乏多样性：女性只占Facebook技术角色的17％，该公司总体女性总体只有33％，而领导职位只有27％由女性担任。

    不过Facebook的发言人认为，这份报道是"不完整和不准确的"。Facebook的基础设施负责人JayParikh的跟进分析发现，被拒绝的代码中的差异是基于工程师的等级而不是性别。但这不一定是一个好现象，这表明女性工程师升职机会比男性慢。一位员工把这称之为"令人深感不安"的新分析。同时，卫报报道，Facebook的人力资源主管部门在内部评论中表示，调查结果正在损害公司的"招聘品牌"，而导致雇用女性更为困难。而当被问及调查结果时，Mark Zuckerberg承认在Facebook中，性别偏见是"一个问题"。
