Palantir is pretty good at optimizing against people who are just in it for the cash.
I liked working at Palantir because the work was important and the company's actual ethics was very strong, contrary to the impression you might get in the press. I thought having a company with that kind of ethical beliefs doing the work that other people would be willing to do, but worse, was better for the outcome I wanted.
Can you go into more detail or give examples of the companies ethical beliefs? This is the first I've seen someone speak differently about it, and I'm very interested to hear what you have to say.
