It is more common than you think. I've had candidates submit code samples with proprietary code from their current employer during interviews. One example: some files from a telco billing system. Right or wrong, there is essentially zero risk for this sort of thing.

- lkjdsklf 3y agoThere's certainly more than 0 risk. I do hiring at my company. If a candidate showed me non-public code during an interview, they're an immediate no hire. Interview is immediately over. This isn't my personal preference or anything either. It's specifically in our interview training. It demonstrates a clear inability to protect company IP. That's a big deal. Especially if you're a publicly traded company.
- icedchai 3y agoIt's near zero. Did you report the candidate for this? Actually, have you ever had it happen in any interview you've done?
