Was wondering if anyone been in an interview (interviewer or interviewee) as example of the existing product code is used?
I've never done that. I've been tempted, but the code is an implementation of an algorithm, and all real world code is messy. I never expect anybody to be capable of dealing with that kind of mess in the context of an interview. Besides, the algorithm is the interesting topic to ask about, so I distill out a simple example and ask about that.

When I ask questions like this, I'm almost never looking to see if they get the "right" answer because I don't ask about textbook problems. I do, however, look at how they approach providing an answer, what they see, what they consider important, etc.
I live in Oregon, and I'm an engineer.
