While men as a group earn about $28,572 (23 percent) more than women as a group, this is common in many companies around the world and primarily occurs as a result of occupational sorting the tendency of men and women to enter into different roles with different corresponding salaries. For example, women make up 82 percent of the marketing and HR departments at Glassdoor, butjust 16 percent of the engineering team (which is still above the nationwide average of 14 percent).After controlling for such factors as a ge, seniority and performance,however, the gender pay gap shrinks to a 12 percent difference. And when accountingfor similar roles, departments and locations, the differencedisappears to a statistical zero. Based on this information, we are proud to report that there is no statistically significant difference in what men earn compared to what women earn after taking into account job functions, performance evaluations , employee tenure and other relevant factors.Although we are pleased with the findingsof our internal pay audit, we will continue to track our compensation data in order to uphold our commitment to transparency and pay equality.
