I would probably think twice before accepting an offer if I had a peek in the codebase of some companies I worked on. From weird practices to complete useless tests and straight copies of other projects without any planing.

But for first step a Psychotechnical test on the candidate, and to be fair, the team and manager.



For an interview, I took a copy of the product's source code to the interview with me to talk about issues it had.

They couldn't work out how I got hold of it. It wasn't open source and only distributed as a binary.

It got me the job. Risky strategy.
