What company uses this methodology?

  e2x did exactly this. We had a tiny web app with one controller, and the candidate had to implement some small feature. Looks easy. But some tests are failing, some are passing incorrectly, there's misnamed code, dead code, and various other traps. We did quite a bit of rescue work on projects screwed up by other consultancies, so it was even somewhat realistic. At Pivotal Labs, we have an interview project where the code works and is tested, but is a horrifying big ball of mud. We ask the candidate to add a few features, but really, they need to refactor heavily first.
