They tried to hire me a few times. I would not do it. They have some very intelligent people including several kernel developers which is not surprising given all the projects they work on. The reason I would never work there is the dystopian vibe I got walking around their campus. The younger people could not understand what I meant, all they saw was free food and an extension to their college life. I saw a corporation that tried every way it could to incentivize staying, living and breathing work. It felt almost like a cult. The older crowd and a handful of the younger crowd would acknowledge with a head nod but did not want to talk about it. I do not blame anyone for working there. People need to feed themselves and start somewhere. It probably looks good on a CV and would have good name recognition. So I guess that does not really answer your question about ethics. I do not have ethical issues with what I perceive to be a dystopian cult of sorts. It's just not for me. Now if you asked me if I would have participated in their profiling and manipulation of people such as the Cambridge Analytica [1] scandal, that would be both ethics and legal issues for me given it was voter manipulation. But otherwise I have worked for companies that have direct ties to many 3 letter agencies and have no issues with that.
