I'm getting older and want to work for a company that won't actively try to kill me.

My TC can stay where it is for the rest of my career. I don't mind boring products or legacy code. I just want to minimize the number of hours I have to work while meeting the bar for my team. In other words, I want to coast.

Most threads on "best companies for coasting" mention Salesforce, Raytheon, Google, Microsoft, Yelp, Northrop-Grumman, SAP, Lockheed-Martin, Adobe, Cisco, Oracle, IBM. Mostly enterprise software / defense contractors. Makes sense, sounds good.

Suspiciously absent are companies like Indeed, Square, Spotify, Twitter, Bloomberg, Atlassian. They all have excellent WLB ratings, which should correlate to good coasting, right? Should I apply to these companies?

What are some chill company green flags? Business sector, product maturity, company age? Chill team green flags? Any miscellaneous advice on narrowing down the search is also appreciated.
