VMware Inc. said women make up 19 percent of its engineers, a slightly higher ratio compared with other technology companies that have recently released data in response to criticism that they aren’t diverse enough.
Google Inc., which kicked off the disclosures in May after publishing the makeup of its staff, reported that 17 percent of technical jobs were held by female employees. Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. followed, showing 15 percent and 10 percent, respectively. Of VMware’s total workforce of 14,300, 22 percent are women, according to Betsy Sutter, senior vice president of people at VMware, the biggest developer of software that lets computers run different operating systems.
