Ask to join a standup, ideally with the team you'd be on, if they do them. If there are five teams working on unrelated projects all in the same standup and everyone's checked out and they're all clearly only talking to their manager and listing every little thing they did and trouble they overcame yesterday, to justify why they should keep their job... run away.

Nit, but our weekly standups are very similar and i'd argue they're not at all justification. Rather, they exist mostly to expand as needed on any tasks - but often expansion isn't needed.

You're probably not wrong in general, but as is often the case, i imagine reality is a bit more complex.
