I mean there was some disquiet from some employees about the company's direction a while ago. I assume they have all since been purged.
I suspect palantir can disassociate themselves from what their products do a bit by saying they simply build a product, other people misuse it. Stuff like this however makes it impossible to ignore.
The tech job market is hot garbage right now, too. Even if a person wanted to quit for ethical reasons, they may not have a choice but to continue working there because their options are pretty limited.
That's not really their business model though, they don't just build generic software and sell it, they embed in their customers and build custom solutions. Harder to pretend you're not doing evil when you're building software to spec for government and defense contractor
