I was given a code to review. I have fixed bugs in their code, made it work, and put detailed comments to all modified lines of code plus detailed comments outside of the code describing what was done and why. The answer was that their student could not understand the comments. Hm, I guess the student should be taught better and I didn't apply for a teacher position. They refused to give me detailed answer, but after all I wasn't sure I wanted it. What a company where students decide whether to hire seniors. After some thinking I've concluded that I was simply used as a free independent code reviewer. If you are experienced developer, avoid these guys, they will pretend they are hiring you, but in fact will just use you. If you are freshly graduated, lazy and not knowledgeable, you can go there, they will teach you how to illegally make others do your job for you.
