I was reached out by an Austrian company with a platform engineer position. Everything seemed like a good fit from both sides, until I got the employment contract.
Out from curiosity I ran though an LLM on it, that pointed out it was full of traps, salary frozen for three years, massive financial penalties on leaving (getting fired with reason, getting fired without reason, leaving on the wrong date, etc), half a week unpaid overwork monthly added back (it was advertised as a 35 hours position and they asked the salary expectation accordingly - then in the contract they added back 5 hours weekly, unpaid), company can deduct money from your salary based on their claims, pre-contractual intellectual property claims, etc.
There were even discrepancies between the German and English text (the English introduced a new condition in a penalty clause on leaving), that could have been nearly impossible to spot without an LLM (or an expensive lawyer).
In hindsight many red flags were obvious, but LLMs are great to balance out the information asymmetry that some companies try to leverage against employers.
