I have worked for two big American companies (global headcount ~300-400k) and two big companies from Europe (global headcount ~50-70k - hard to find any bigger that have their HQ here). These "dark triad" corporate failure modes you describe I've always suspected are a distinctly US-American phenomenon and I have always avoided companies headquartered in the US because of this. We do have exploitative companies founded here as well of course but their practices pale in comparison to what I've seen people go through at the American counterparts.
