What about private companies though? It seems that many companies start off as small, ethical, customer and employee focused, but will inevitably become the beast that they originally opposed. Is it unreasonable to hope that a privately owned company can remain ethical as it grows?
Just to echo this, not all CS jobs have the same requirements - some will require qualifications and others prefer experience.
I work in processor design and we hire exclusively bachelor degree candidates with a 2:1 or above (UK or international equivalent). Experience doesn't factor in much because we don't expect graduates to know the industry - we asses more problem solving in interviews. I expect many large software jobs are similar in requiring a qualification, so I would recommend trying to narrow down what kind of work you like the sound of and researching job entry requirements.
