Red flags for a software dev job?

My last and my previous assignment (contract worker) are both one of the worst experiences ever. I am used to being lied to in job interviews when they tell you how great their teams are and how fucked up their software processes are (we have fun, we are a team, we do all the best way possible, best quality bla bla bla). Scrum and Safe are just shit that you have to live with but what are the other red flags that help you to avoid bad jobs or at least cut them short? I wanted to quit since day one and that never changed but in the end after 12 months I extended the shit just to see how they get going with the already clearly failed project, and yes they were the assholes I expected them to be. But I got an extension worth 5 months of work…

But I got an extension worth 5 months of work and since I already distant myself from the project and just did as told, I was completely fine.

So what are some of your survival strategies beside finding a position with do-not-care-anymore pay (which I failed to find so far)?
