For what it is worth I would much rather work for parts of western defense industry than for Google.

I'd be overjoyed to help create the tools to drive the invaders out of Ukraine for example, but not so much to try to finally kill the rest of the browser market or to serve shady ads.

Yes, while I am not exaggerating I am probably a bit one sided here - I know there are parts of Google that I have nothing against like GCP - but I am serious: Much rather work for the military than Google.

Yeah we all have our own moral positions on these things. I wouldn't want to work for a hedge fund, but many people do. A friend of mine turned down a university project from a hedge fund, but went to work at a defence contractor after university. I personally disagree with your characterisation of Google, but again this is all based on opinion.
