Even if you ask about it in an interview (there's almost always internal tools/libs/code), there's not really any compensation if they lie about their code quality and then put you on that stuff full-time. Rewriting that stuff is not great for a career. It's always been the stuff I've chosen to leave out because I don't want to signal to anyone that I'm willing to full-time rewrite your stuff.
