There are companies that can result in reputation harm, like: pornography, prison communications, pay day loans.

My best advice is really drill down on the immediate management of a potential employer about how they manage and the expectations they set. If they lack maturity then employment there will be painful and probably temporary. Take this seriously and don’t let them sell you a bunch of bullshit about how they are a great place to work.

If it appears stressful because they set a high bar on product quality or process automation then it’s probably a good place to be, but if it appears the opposite is true and things look too easy be very afraid. I say this because there is so much you don’t see when it comes to bias, and by the time that bias becomes clear it’s far too late.
