Kelly Ellis, a software engineer at Google for more than four years, tweeted Saturday about recurring sexual harassment at the company. Despite multiple attempts to contact Google, the tech giant refused to publicly respond to the allegations.

Kelly Ellis described incidents in which superiors commented on her appearance and made sexual comments about other women.
In one instance during a company trip to Maui, she said a superior told her it was, "taking all of my self control not to grab your ass right now."
Ellis said many of the comments she felt she had to "laugh off" and not report to the company's human resources department for fear it would damage her career.
She said that instead of investigating her accused harasser, Google reprimanded her and offered her no support.
