"I’m reluctant to take this conversation further," wrote engineer James Abley, citing both the memo and the pending lawsuit against Google for pay discrimination. "These things do not give me a good impression of Google’s culture."

Another prospective recruit, Sam Stephenson, shared his response to a Google recruiter in which he criticized the company for its "disappointing" response to the memo. "It is not the response of a company that cares about fostering an inclusive work environment, and that's a non-negotiable dealbreaker for me.

It's disturbing that a Google VP would advocate for 'fostering a culture' in which employees should 'feel safe sharing' ignorant and hateful ideas."
