      @meaganrgamache @maiab I'm fascinated — but not sure I can tell which way I'd guess it'd go.

      @meaganrgamache @maiab I 100% agree: likely to be the case underrepresented ppl will have less access to teams, less likely to be on one

      @meaganrgamache @maiab otoh for people with nontraditional backgrounds, applying with a group who can vouch for you could be a huge boost

      @meaganrgamache @maiab so whether or not this ends up making Stripe likely to have fewer or more people from underrep. backgrounds is good q

      @starsandrobots @meaganrgamache @maiab Not even considering (under)representation of candidates, hiring entire teams seems like 👎 to me.

          @starsandrobots @meaganrgamache @maiab It's hiring friends and not looking for new perspectives. Not giving opportunities to new people.

          @starsandrobots @meaganrgamache @maiab This has all the downsides of the referral process that people talk about re: diversity.

          @starsandrobots @meaganrgamache @maiab The only difference I can see between this and referrals is that you're taking people in a batch.

          @kf @meaganrgamache @maiab idk, I'd argue against this. Bringing a coupla people with you doesn't mean you only ever work with them.

          @kf @meaganrgamache @maiab ie 2-3 people (and they cap at 5) will necessarily be interacting with a larger org; impossible to act as hermits
