You will have a hard time finding a place like this, because honesty and truthfulness do not perform well in large groups where there is not a pre-rational basis (e.g. religion or blood-ties) for them.
You should look for smaller companies for more honesty, but also recognize that there is another side of the coin: there will be a stronger ingroup tendency and it may be harder to gain trust, and there will be less stability in this economic environment, which can add tensions.
I worked for a company that started as a fairly small, high-trust startup of about 50 people and that grew into a huge public company. Despite the leadership remaining relatively constant, once a certain size was hit it became apparent that political management and power relations became more important than productivity. Honesty regarding mistakes, in particular, almost completely vanished.
I'm convinced that group size is the most important factor in trust formation.
