You will be exposed to a certain amount of social justice material at any company. At many companies this is just part of HR / compliance training. You sit through a day's worth of bullshit and then go back to your normal work. If the company wants more than that, if they require employees to be true believers there will likely be a social justice component to the interview / application process. If you experience this then you know not to take the job. Generally speaking, I would say that startups are more likely to push this stuff. The reason is that startups tend to hire younger people and offer them "culture perks" instead of market rate salaries. (we can't pay you market rate but we have a foosball table and we're woke af!)

I've recruited and worked at dozens of startups, and at least at the Seed -> A/B rounds, they seem to be laser focused on their product and surviving, so I haven't seen this at those early growth stages.

Once they get to C-round -> IPO and mature though I do start seeing this more.
