I think the original Joel Test still holds up well and I still use it when I interview with companies. But these questions might get to culture issues that ultimately affect code quality and developer well-being: - Are developers/employees at the office for less than 45 hours a week? - Are employees discouraged from answering company email or signing on after they leave the office? - Do developers have admin control of their machines? - Do you trust your developers with internet access (i.e. no corporate website blockers)? Any NO here is an organization smell to me that signals poor project management, too few people expected to do too much work, or basic lack of professionalism.
