We have a sample repository with a simple, but broken, web application. We ask our candidates to review the code as they would if a coworker had submitted it as a merge request.

it gives quite a bit of insight about what aspects they latch onto as issues of note. Do they catch the insidious, subtle issues or just the low hanging fruit? Do they understand what stdlib function arguments expect as input? Do they just pass your review through a linter and call it a day?
