I work at a non-defense tech company, and it's basically a running joke that no matter how bad the job market is, none of us are soulless enough to go looking for work at Palantir, even if the pay is good.

I would have trouble trusting the kind of person who would work at Palantir. It seems like it could be career-limiting in the long run.

That is strange. I work at Cisco and nobody has mentioned the slightest political aside about anything, ever. No one would ever say something like that about Palantir or its opposite.

I would have trouble working at the kind of place with those running jokes in the office.
