Or maybe we could stop judging people based on how they look and just hire the most qualified candidates because clearly PA sucks at hiring competent people

Lack of diversity at big4 in general could use a lot of improvement.

I would urge you to reconsider your definition and perception of diversity.... It's easy to look at surface level traits and assume that there is no "diversity", but you don't know the individuals backgrounds and experiences. I think that in general, people get too caught up and jump to immediate conclusions.

That said, yes, of course improvements can be made, and we're far from perfection. However, in general, I believe that our firms are striving to be as inclusive as possible while hiring the best candidates for the job. It's to their benefit to gain multiple trains of thought and diverse talent.

Not saying you're wrong. Just offering some food for thought. As always YMMV, but I find my office is very diverse (background, ethnicity, gender, etc.)

Is any of the big 4 still sponsor entry level h1b? Just wondering.

PwC doesn’t sponsor entry level h1bs unless you specifically work in some tech and specialty groups which require some special skills. KPMG doesn’t sponsor at all even you are a senior

Yeah diversity advertisement compare to reality at the big 4 are disgusting. Human instinct I bet

We are exploring having a third party come in and assess our I&D efforts across our company. We have many locations across North America. Is anyone aware of an entity who does this?

So I recently started a position with Fox. When it was presented to me in interview, I was told I would be working aligned with Fox Sports & Entertainment, not so much News. Now that I’m here, I’m seeing everything I’ll be doing is with the News team & makes me uncomfortable. No diversity, outdated software & process.
Financially, it’s the best position I been in. But mentally in this environment, it’s depressing & slow. Nothing innovative or engaging. What would you do?
