by request: a long list of tell-tale symptoms and questions to help you sort out the companies who are earnestly trying (but imperfect) from the ones that are shiny on the outside, shitholes on the inside.

most importantly, remember no sorting system is perfect, and you're going to take a bad swing or two at some point.
you'll know when you're a week or two in and it just doesn't feel right. trust your gut. leave the job, take another swing. you don't owe them a year of your life.

also, it doesn't have to mean the company itself is toxic or terrible or unredeemable. it might just not be a great fit for you.
it's like any other relationship. you need compatibility to be happy, but that's a deeply personal thing. what works for others may not work for you.

there are two companies where i stayed for basically a year and a day, because i felt obligated.
that was silly. both times i knew within days after starting that i would never love the job or fit in there. so i will never do that again.
