Depends how you define evil. Is advertising evil? Then Facebook and Google engineers are committing evil. Is working with repressive governments evil? Then Apple and Microsoft engineers are committing evil. That's a sizeable chunk of engineers right there.

Some employees at Google certainly see working with repressive governments as 'evil', yes. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2018/08/16/tech...
Well, it would be interesting to see MS seriously attempt to implement such an Oath in their own organisation.

Personally, I hope they do try. :)
