IMO there aren’t any perfectly ethical companies. Even the six years I spent working in tech for non-profit orgs lent itself to some ethical dilemmas for me. It’s a personal decision on who you work for and what work you do. There are some tech companies that I would not want to work for, mainly because their core business model IMO is a net negative for society. Or in other cases their business model is supported by exploitation of some worker class. Others might think they could do good at one of these entities by building more equitable business practices or beneficial products. One of my friends works for the USG in a national security capacity. While I view that space as fraught with ethical and geopolitical implications, their perspective has always been this is their way of serving and protecting their country. Bottom line, I’m the one that has to live with my choices and maintain a way to pay the bills. A tech career gives me the freedom to make that choice without having to sacrifice too much in the way of pay or benefits.
