A senior engineer is suing Google for allegedly paying her less than male counterparts and promoting less-qualified men to positions for which she was more skilled.

In a filing [PDF] this week in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, Ulku Rowe accused Google of discrimination "by hiring her at a lower level and paying her less compensation than her similarly situated male peers, denying her additional earned compensation, and denying her a promotion for which she was the most qualified – instead hiring a less qualified man for the role."
