Leaving my current employer and joining my next solely due to mission (plus a bit of culture). $current employer was recently acquired by a large multi-national "health/beauty eCommerce company" with an end goal to have complete domination in that sector. $next employer is focused on delivering a quality service to a specific audience (plus give back to that audience as much as possible). While it's asinine to assume that $next has no interest in expanding profit, the difference in mission and culture spawned from those missions is night and day to me. I've come to realize that if I am personally unable to reconcile a company's mission with my own interests and beliefs, I will eventually be unhappy regardless of the benefits they provide.
