I'd agree with other commenters that it might be helpful to adopt a more flexible moral framework. That being said, I can identify with your struggle, as I've often felt the same way. I've pursued the route of working at many different non-profits. Currently working at a non-profit focused on climate change. The thing is, every place I've ever worked, within a few weeks, I see behind the curtain and find something to be unhappy about. No company or organization is perfectly good, and I don't think you should attach your sense of morality too closely to the company you work for. Focus on being a good, moral person in the direct interactions you have with others. Be a good coworker, good partner, good neighbor, etc. The world needs more people who are good to each other these days. If you can do that, it's more important than which company you might happen to work for in 99% of the cases.
As far as choosing a company goes, one strategy that I have is to keep lists of companies that do things I like. When I'm looking for work, I go through those lists to see who's hiring. I've got a list on Twitter of companies I like, a spreadsheet of companies that I like and links to their jobs pages, and when I come across a job posting that looks like a role I might like, I add the link to it as a todo item in a specific category of my todo app, and when I have some time I send off an application, just in case.
