Here we see all the time posts, comments criticizing companies.

Google and most other big tech unironically do most of those to some extent except for number one.<p>Don’t fall for the trap that some small scrappy startup whose founder promises great contributions to the world will do that.<p>That being said, most companies in general do most of those.

I&#x27;d just caution about companies that try and woo you for a low salary to work on social good.<p>You can have a startup that claims to be trying to save the world, but a closer look at their actual business model can reveal them to be more akin to middleman profiteers that don&#x27;t actually provide any net negative to anybody, but are just good at extracting tax dollars or have connections to capitalize on some craze that will quickly vanish.<p>Basically, don&#x27;t take flowery claims at face value, but use your own brain to figure out what their business model actually delivers for the world.

Small businesses generally? If a company is just a few people with a vision the more they care about the things you listed here.<p>The larger and more profitable a company grows the more leadership is selected based on maximising shareholder value and this is generally when all the malalignment happens.

SkyHive - certified B corp working to re-skill the world and help individuals find the career path that makes them whole.<p>Goal is to get 8b people a career coach in their pocket, so they would never have to make a resume again.
