I work for AWS. I sometimes find that my values don't align with the company for which I work. Especially when it comes to the treatment of warehouse ('fulfillment center') workers and union busting. But I also didn't agree with all the positions taken by previous employers dating back to when I was working at a grocery store after high school. That employer shipped most of our managers out to California as scabs to break a union strike for a time, and kept yo-yoing me between 25 and over 40 hours so they never had to classify me as a full-time employee. Both inside and outside of tech, I found that you are very rarely going to work at a place which aligns completely with your values. Where you draw that line is ultimately up to you. I quit the grocery store over its bullshit. But at AWS, I'm ultimately helping companies safeguard the data of millions and millions of regular people. Where you draw the line between your personal values and corporate reality is ultimately up to you. Do you think your work ultimately benefits the greater good? If not, I'd look at a different job. Don't worry about not being employable in the future. Doing good work is doing good work. I have a very disreputable company on my resume (or, rather, I did). I got hired despite that. Did people ask me uncomfortable questions in interviews? Yeah. Did it stop me from being employable and getting a higher-paying job? No. And once I had more experience on my resume, I quietly dropped the company from my resume. I haven't found anyone who really cares what I did in 2013.
