> I used to work in big tech and quit after a few years due to similar concerns that are being raised here.

This also reminded of a personal anecdote:

I had a colleague who was fresh out of college. He disagreed with whatever our company was doing at the time, but he said "at this point, fresh out of college, this ended up being the only company that hired me. I'm here for my CV only". The moment he could find a job elsewhere, he quit.
