Not to defend them too much but I'd assume that a lot of the employees are just trying to make a living. The department I'm working at was recently taken over and I have a mortgage and a kid so even if I morally disagree with some of the practices of my new employer I can't just quit without uprooting the lives of my family.

It's the same for the majority of workers stuck in big corporate jobs. The capitalist orphan crushing machine will crush all in the end. Not just the orphans.
