While not being a prescribed way of doing things (deservedly) goto as well as some other "obsolete" tricks sometimes can actually make sense in low level C code especially on micro-controllers.

Denying potential job to a person on a basis of generic "goto is anathema" mantra is not a good idea until one looks at the code and understands what the "offensive" part is actually doing instead of using some code analyzer/text search blindly.
