At the end of the day there's no such thing as a perfect place to work, even in regards to ethics of the company. You need to spend time seriously thinking about the company's behavior and your own personal values (and also judging the company's behavior fairly and not necessarily too harshly, no individual person is perfect and company's are imperfect as well), questioning why you feel a certain way, whether it's justified, and how much it's justified. And then you need to make a decision on your own, keeping in mind that you do have the freedom to choose where to work. And also remembering that the work you do is much more valuable than the compensation you receive, so when you work for a company you are making a very serious and very significant contribution to them, you're supporting them, and by extension you are supporting what they do. If you feel that your employer is acting in a way that you cannot support, then you need to go somewhere else.

It's very easy to see ourselves as swept along by the tide of history, moved by bigger forces all around us. But we are those forces. Every action we take every day is like a drop in the ocean of history, and maybe sometimes our drops end up adding together to make something great, or maybe they make something that is hurtful. Whether or not we can individually turn back a tide that might be perpetuating or creating hurt or evil we can decide whether or not to contribute to it ourselves, and that makes a difference to our lives and incrementally to the world at large as well.
