      Yeah, the distinction is that Palantir’s *business model* is unethical, whereas other tech companies merely have certain unethical practices.

    • How is Palantir’s business model any more unethical than Google’s? Google ad data is used far more than the average person expects — probably more so than any of Palantir’s LE support — and jus like Palantir you have no way to stop it.

    From a career point of you — probably good. IPO will come soon. With more governments leaning towards totalitarianism, future growth is strong (not being sarcastic — I believe this).

    Only thing is, people like those commenting here will look at you with raised eyebrows, as if you made a morally compromised decision. (And they may be somewhat right.)

    I wouldn’t work for Palantir if it was the last company on earth.

    WLB is bad. Especially for Deploy engineers who have to fly everywhere.
