Would you turn down a great job offer from a company with questionable ethics?

Would you turn down a great job offer from a company with questionable ethics?

The state of being a company implies questionable ethics, so the question for me is always a quantitative one. I can be pragmatic though; it all depends on whether they were compromising something I was personally involved with.

"Questionable ethics" are all relative, but what qualified for me was when I discovered that Bio-Rad Laboratories (where I started work in 2002 as Documentation Control Specialist) was performing product testing on animals. They received my resignation only a day later.

No... someone else would take that job and that company will go on anyway.

Like this I might be able to maybe change some things for good within the company or maybe influence it to make a turn for good.

***The state of being a company implies questionable ethics***

I think this is totally true. Even businesses that "think" they ate totally honest, usually aren't. They just create false"reasoning" that what they're doing, all and all, isn't really that bad. For me though, it would have to be qualitative, not quantitative. Just how unethical are their practices, I would have to ask myself before I joined a business.

I have very few ethics, so it's hard for me to look at someone else as unethical. If it's a great job, it's a great job, and since with my abilities I'm not going to be that high on the corporate ladder (unless the job is to snuff out heads of other companies of course), I wouldn't be much involved in the unethical practices.

if Iwant to work for them I'll do it............if the questionable ethics get to me, I go work for a company with different questionable ethics

Since my morality is very questionable, I'd probably not have any problem if the company have questionable ethics when it come to competitors or other companies as long as they're good to their own workers.

I cannot give a fuck if the CEO is screwing our competitor's CEO's wife, cheat on taxes, rip clients off, putting other companies out of business, etc.... As long as the CEO take care of those who are under him/her.

On other hand if they treat workers badly or want to use me to make workers' life miserable then no way I'd do it.
