What is good and what is bad?

There is a lot of nuance and subjectivity.

Also things are not static, they can go from good to bad and the otherway around.

As an atheist, my line between bad and good is "don't harm others". Ideally, those others include living beings besides humans, but ffs, if at least you restrict to humans, even if you never actively help anyone, it's a great improvement.

So we would have to ask: do I harm others by working for this bad company?

Your role in the company may not directly harm anyone, but if the company is doing "bad" things, then you're arguably an enabler for those anyway.
