I’m basically a Stalinist relative to the community here, but among those listed, only Uber and Facebook would fall into don’t-work-for-them-territory.
The others are regularly criticised to varying degrees, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to work there for people somewhat conscious of their conscience. It comes down to the question “can you honestly expect to have an impact on the organisation, or is it more likely to hollow you out and make you into another one of their cynical libertarian defenders?”
This happens to be exactly the same misunderstanding as calling all criticism “cancel culture”.
