Johnson & Johnson

J&J is one of the most respected corporation, especially in the U.S. It's a company that values ethics highly (as it should be with all companies). J&J's life is governed by its credo, emphasizing responsibility to customers, employees and communities over stockholders. Not exactly what I learned in b-school.

The credo, however, is my key decision factor. Having seen Enron and knowing how business is done in Asia, I'd follow my heart in choosing my future company.
