- sidcool 2y agoI hear their pay is pretty well. Integrity and ethics are fair weather phenomenon even at the most respected of world's companies. I am not saying integrity is not important, but it's not what makes the economy and humans tick.

- jncfhnb 2y agoI work there. One thing I appreciate is full leeway to decline any work assignment for ethical reasons. I was asked to do something in Saudi Arabia. I said no. Perfectly fine. I sure wish the rest of the firm made the same choice. But it’s a decentralized company with partners doing their own thing in their own corners. If you want to work on green energy, are you accountable for the folks doing Chinese mining? Or German agriculture? Or American pharma? I’d say it’s ambiguous at best. It’s not like working for a tech product where, say, the QA team for Facebook is still actively enabling Facebook.
- creativeSlumber 2y ago> but are these numbers better than a human driver so how many unethical projects can you decline before they fire you? Also hypothetically, what would they do if every one refused (eg:projects like the opiod one)?
