If there is something that is actually unethical going on, then you should consider leaving, but you need to be more specific on what those things actually are.

If there is something that is actually unethical going on, then you should consider leaving, but you need to be more specific on what those things actually are. "beyond what is fair" and "really sketchy" are pretty subjective. It's fair to say a company's culture is too competitive, but it's not clear this is the case since you feel the company is well run. If you and other coworkers are treated fairly, then you are probably being a bit too sensitive / idealistic. Relax and view it as a challenge: learning how to deal with people that you view as too aggressive/competitive. It will serve you well in life. Again, given the lack of detail that's my best advice... Note that I've worked at a company that stole code and got sued, so I have some experience in unethical companies and leadership.

>>> Relax and view it as a challenge: learning how to deal with people that you view as too aggressive/competitive. You make a very good point here! Every company has issues and decisions that you don't agree with for variety of reasons. So looking for some perfect company will make your life much harder than it should be. It's just that you have to draw a line what's acceptable and what is not. Having experience in industry (or just general professional experience) can help a lot because it allows you to compare the issues and set the line. I know that because I was wayyy too idealistic and naive at my first full time job :)
