text: Likewise. The best project manager I've ever had was a woman. Two of the three smartest engineers I've ever collaborated with were women. Nor is my workplace is a bros club. Many of my coworkers are older family-men who want to get their own daughters into STEM and are therefore motivated to create an equal-opportunity workplace.
  
  However, I can't speak for Google. Google has a less mature workplace culture. Google's workforce is relatively young (median age in their 20s) and has a high high turnover rate (employees stay an average of only one year). Google offers their employees "stereotypical male" perks like video games, billiard tables in lunch rooms, etc. If they claim Google is a "bros club", I could believe it, but that does not apply to the entire tech industry.
