Does your company care about accessibility?

Accessibility refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people who experience disabilities. How much does your company care about it? To what extent?

If you’re a big tech company, you better take accessibility seriously. Not just for the legal reasons, but if your product is something like e-commerce but it can’t be used by someone dead, blind, mute, etc. then you’re neglecting a significant customer base.

To an impractical extent

This. Recently they have been blocking the launch of any products that don't pass their accessibility tests.

In fact Satya is big on making sure solutions are accessible to all kinds of people.

Spotify took waaaay too long to care. 2 years ago we did a study that basically had us failing on most markers for accessibility. Since then we’ve invested heavily but still have room to grow here

Yeah we realized our color palette was failing all the basic tests so we pumped up the contrast until it passed them all, at least on web. Mobile apps are following suit albeit more slowly.

Bloomberg don’t care

Not untill someone sues?? Isn't that all companies? Just to be clear, fuck accessibility in most cases.
