Yes, I would accept a job at Facebook.
Although Facebookâs work has been ethically questionable – specifically through exploitation of consumers – in the past, I would accept a job at the company. A job at Facebook aligns with several values for ranking jobs (5.1) including pay, prestige, and some level of security. Moreover, the work would be meaningful to me, as I would be able to use my background in computer science and design. Job sequencing would also allow me to use Facebook as a stepping stone to future jobs in the tech or business industry. Starting at an entry level position might also provide a path to a higher level position that focuses on social good at Facebook, which might be more impactful than accepting a job elsewhere.
However, I would need to pay attention to how close my work was to ethically difficult actions performed by Facebook. For example, if I was working as a designer, I would need to be careful about what products I was designing and implementing and ensure that I understood who my work would affect.
