Just a note: If you value morality and ethics so dearly then make sure that the company is aligned with these expectations. All too often a company looks for moral employees while it will screw them over when it is convenient. Because hey, it's business right?

It can be worse... Companies can hire moral workers because they won't steal secrets after they've been screwed over. But such is life. If morality were 100% cost-effective then it wouldn't really be morality, it would be business.
I now value ethics above all else in working relationships. Two ways I perhaps can quickly determine ethics: Watch how they interact with people in low status positions (food servers, gas attendants) versus how they interact with you. Also ask them about how they determine morality - if they give you a blank stare then perhaps take that into consideration.
