Has there ever been a large scale coporation that has been ethical. As sad as it is, it is to be expected at this point from them.

Ethics are antithetical to success in capitalism. Nowhere in the world had it been accomplished other then rare instances in state run industries.

No one ever got to the top without being evil.

In capitalism, yes. In socialism, is the other way around. The system makes sure to make evil people stay at the bottom.

Reminds me of a Soviet joke:

"Capitalism is oppression of human by another human, and socialism is the other way around."

In a "socialist" system shit floats to the top just like in other ones.
