I know this is very anecdotal, but in my last job (in which I spent 4 years) I was part of the director's board, the company had about 50 employees. Half the director's board was women in their 30s-40s, but the owner of the company and single investor was a massive misogynistic prick. Like, he literally told some of these female directors that they were subhuman. In a joking tone, but it was still very repulsive and one of the reasons I left. I hired a lot of people, and had access to most financial records so I knew how much everyone made, and yes, there was a wage gap. The problem seems very complex though - women applicants, when asked to provide a pretended remuneration, always gave lower numbers than men with similar or lower experience. There was also massive underrepresentation of women in certain high-paying fields (programming, IT) and overrepresentation in other low-paying ones (sales), but this was just one of many factors and, when corrected, the gap was still there and still noticeable. During my time there I was exposed to tables full of old rich white guys (owner's friends) and they were all male, white, old, and made fun of women. So yeah it's all terrible.
