* they are a pedantic, roll your own type of place that is full of custom frameworks and libraries that you're better off avoiding
* they are big enough or specialized enough that they really need that level of knowledge
I imagine the former is more common.
And if you are applying to the latter, you should know that from your research. You do research companies before you interview there, right?
