IMO it's easy to avoid politics, activism, and the associated drama if it doesn't interest you. Most people seem uninterested in that stuff. I think you're spot on with the availability bias assessment. It exists and there are conversations happening all the time, but nobody expects you to participate.

Amazon has a more singleminded focus on succeeding in the business and making money. This can be good or bad depending on your personality and goals.

Thanks for the answer!

I want to say I would fit more with Amazon based on the vibe I got and my personality/goals.

It's good to know that Google isn't totally out of the question though (provided I would pass interviews etc).

It really seemed like there was a "fiasco" every year or so regarding politics and that's sorta my worst nightmare in the workplace lol

As long as I can work in peace I think I'll be happy.

Thanks again for your response!
