I think it's going to boil down to whether a good person going to work at a bad company is actively working to change it for the better. In my experience, people who do this don't tend to last long.

If there are people who've found a good strategy for changing companies for the better without being exceptionally senior, i'd love to hear about it.

Not sure if I'd have the courage to do it, but whistle-blowing. You could even do that a while after you've left, and there are options such as media outlets with anonymous communication methods, or foreign governments/data protection authorities.

Whistle-blowing is fine for actual illegal activities (and many industries have legal protection for whistle-blowers), but for unethical acts (where ethics aren't protected by law) you don't really have the same options.
