Interesting.. I'm not sure I could accept an offer to work there, ethically. It would be like working at a tobacco company. Certainly wouldn't sleep well if I did. Granted, they're not exactly throwing offers at me so maybe it's mutual.

Are you calling google as unethical as a tobacco company? Whaaat.Care to explain?
Google is a force for advertisement proliferation, data collection, centralization, and a driving force behind much of the movement to ad-driven maximum engagement rage-driven clickbait media. These are all, I would argue, some of the currently worst evils of our time.
Massive surveillance, fraudulent restrictions such as requiring that Location be turned on in order to use GPS on your phone, would be 2 I can think of off the bat.
