I didn't make an exhaustive list of the companies/industries I wouldn't work for.

For most of the things, my personal opinion on wanting to work for the ones you've listed are definitely in the "it depends on the organisation/management" category.

If it's a company that is (in my opinion) causing more harm than good, then it's not somewhere I'd want to work.

The point of my post was to point out that some tech roles are for companies who do cause harm/pain/suffering whether that's direct (military) or indirect (loan sharking).

Whether the military or an arms manufacturer is necessary is a whole other debate - but the whole point of those types of organisations is the ability to directly cause harm to those they're directed at.

However organisations that provide high interest credit to those who can't afford the thing they're buying, with the intent to keep milking money from their debtors do cause suffering, albeit in a more indirect sense.

For me payday loans is a hard no, and similar things that battern (take advantage of) on poor people

I am ok with defence apart form Chem and Bio, "that just sqicks me out"

Though it does depend on who id be working for I did turn down a recruiter who was looking for people to work on the MET police Registry, but I would have worked for HMGCC.

Note these where both Avowed Jobs so I am not breaking any laws mentioning them.
