Every time I've been asked this question, I answer with total honesty up to and including the one-word answer "money." I got an offer with that, by the way.

I'd prefer not to work for a firm that's smelling its own farts. I'm happy to have worked for several firms where I really believed strongly in the product and the mission, and I've left companies when I felt they had lost sight of their mission. But at the end of the day, it's a job. I give you labor and expertise, you give me money.
