Reason for leaving (a shady operation...)

So, what's a faut-pas in this section?

Would it be frowned upon if I said the truth about leaving because the co I was at was a black-box and I was concerned about it being legit? (Or, as I put it in my "reason for leaving" section, it "lacked transparency, questions were discouraged, feedback non-existent, and as a result, employee morale very low"). Or, does that say to the AdCom that a) I can't stick it out or b) bring about a change in the organization that would warrant staying?
Seriously, the place was shady, and during the time I was there, 5 of the 15 people in our office quit...

Any thoughts appreciated!

Hmmm, unless you have proof (i.e. the company has been CONVICTED of something) it's gonna be a very long tangent for you, and you are asking the AdCom to take sides about something they aren't involved in.

So my suggestion to you, as this is not likely the case: Be diplomatic.
Write things like "the position didn't answer my expectations in my professional development" and things like that. Otherwise, you are dragging the reader into something they don't need to know about.

Hm, OK, thanks.

There's been all sorts of crazy allegations floating around on the web about them, and some lawsuits filed, but honestly I don't know where things stand (as it's been a while since I left and they're very under-the-carpet). Probably best not to draw attention to it.

Yeeeah, I'd say avoid it if you can. Otherwise, it can be a first step in a bubbling mire.

Hi Scielle,

I agree that you don't want to look like you are muckraking, BUT I do think that they could likely dig into this situation in your interview if the AdCom is aware of these issues with your company (you mentioned it being in the news). I also think the specificity around why you left depends on how long you stayed at the company. If you stayed for less than six months, you better believe the AdCom is going to want to know the real reason why you left.
