Although overall may be somewhat diverse, department wise is lacking in gender but is subject to gender dominated industry
Within my team, there was one female and 5 males. This differs throughout the company's teams. There is a lack of ethnic diversity within the company.
Zero focus on LGBTQ+ diversity aside from a sentence or two on the website. Some focus on gender diversity, such as a female-only bathroom and a female slack channel. Despite this, the engineering team severely lacked women. During interviews, diversity was not mentioned at all.
As a woman in engineering, I broached the topic of Halter getting involved with and supporting the Women in Engineering Network (WEN) at the University of Auckland, and they were immediately keen and organised a meeting with me to go over the details of sponsorship. Within 2 days, the sponsorship was confirmed, and since then people from different roles within the company have been attending WEN events and interacting with students. They are very committed to improving inclusivity and diversity within the company, and are constantly on the lookout for all avenues of doing so.
