1. The boss treats people differently: he is very polite to some employees but extremely rude to others. You don't necessarily have to suck up to him or be a relative of his; being highly capable and on the same wavelength can also work.
2. The coworkers are easy to get along with, but turnover is high, so it's uncertain who you'll be dealing with if you join now...
3. There isn't much infighting.

The one you found is over budget.” But what actually gets produced is mostly unusable... an endless loop.
8. They don't like using licensed software.
