Word of mouth is the surest thing I guess - just listen to your colleagues describing low-effort companies/teams they’ve encountered, and try to get there. FWIW I’m in Europe and all the jobs I’ve had here in big multinational companies were pretty low-effort. Maybe it’s less common in the US.

Sorry, I don’t want to dox myself here. But pretty much any team doing maintenance on something older is pretty slow-going. Also, ant work which requires a lot of integrations is often blocked by dependencies not getting their shit right.
