> style nitpicks

Other commenter point at auto-formating, but I think companies not using any are pretty rare, hitting that very issue in several companies is highly improbable.

We're probably down to function/variable naming, ternal operators, return types, this kind of thing ?

Someone who can't bother looking around and adapt their style to the surrounding code sounds like a problem to me. What is seen as pendantic and nitpicky can have pretty large impact on readability and go against others' assumptions.

Even more than that, it means the developer has spent no time understanding the surrounding code, and thus is likely adding debt/CRUFT/risk.
