I find myself in need of a new job in software engineering. I'm lucky not to have been pushed to use LLMs or anything in any tangible way so far and I'd like to keep it that way.

I personally am interested in companies in tech (not that there are many companies not in tech these days), but I figure it makes sense to make this thread generally about employers in any field who... even if they're not anti-GenAI at least aren't likely to make their employees' paychecks contingent on GenAI use any time soon.

(I'd give information about the company I'm currently working for, but I don't think GenAI use will be optional there for much longer. That's not what I'm leaving over specifically, but yeah.)

So, what companies haven't succumbed quite as much to the GenAI psychosis? (Or for that matter, did succumb and then learned from their mistakes.) And of course, bonus points if they actively hate GenAI or have taken public stands against GenAI like, say, Dove and Cadbury (who I only found out about by searching on DuckDuckGo).

But also, if you suggest a company where officially everyone is supposed to use GenAI but they don't enforce it and the workers can ignore the rules, I'd be thrilled to hear about an option like that as well.

And while we're at it, feel free to steer folks away from companies you know to have drunk the Kool-Aid. Particularly if it's not obvious from outside the company that they're GenAI-brained.

Hopefully this thread can be a good resource for others who hate GenAI and need a job.
