IDK how common this is, but there are stories of companies that make you work on real production code in the interview. Basically suckering you into free work before they give the position to the boss's cousin or something.

I had a startup give me a take home to implement a graphql api on top of some sample data they gave me. Recruiter said they were in the middle of a migration and I made some assumptions

y'know, if you want to
