A pro maintains consistency though so that is good. I like One True Brace Style (1TBS) with an uncuddled 'else', which has else/else if on new-line with the break before it (similar to Stroustrup K&R without any same line properties, one thing per line, no bracket-less statements) and setup the standard that way if I am designing it, but do Allman or whatever variant the codebase uses if it already exists.
