And use information gleaned from the content of their coding
standard in your evaluation of that company...

Personally, I'd not totally disqualify a company as a
candidate employer just because they lacked a formal coding
standard, but I'd probe a little deeper into the rationale
for the lack.   If they seemed genuinely interested in the
idea of having one, I'd take it as an opportunity to get my
personal ideas embedded early in such a standard.  On the
other hand, if they seemed to disdain the concept of such a
document, then I'd count points off on their score.
