Executive leaders are only interested in diversifying their workforce for the sake of being compliant with local stakeholders . The experience of employees who identify as anything other than cis white men or women, are often negative, and go unaddressed. This is primarily seen in pay disparities amongst women and POC who see significantly less pay than their white male counterparts. The firm also disbanded BRGs aimed to support POC and the LGBTQ+ community. The former dept. for DE&I was also deconstructed with several employees from this team being laid off. Growth opportunities for women and POC (in all departments) are also less likely, and awarded based on favoritism.
