So... when you're looking at a job ad, what words are you looking for that tell you a place has good engineering culture?

I'm getting that 'agile' is not one of those words, but what words are?

An ad is pretty much useless for that, other than "negative" words (to me) like "scrum", "agile", etc. I'd be looking at the tech stack for things I'm proficient in, or things I'd be interested in learning. Also, WFH is now a critical for me, so it has to be 100% full-time remote work.

I'm indifferent to seeing "agile" in a job ad. Getting a job or client is like dating ... you find out what they mean by their bio over a few dates.

If I ever accept a client or job, there's always a grace period.
