In my view a program that "works" (for the prevailing contextual
definition of that word) and is beautiful to look at (to a reasonable
programmer) is what this job is all about. 

Beauty, in programming, generally equates to simplicity and obviousness
written down well.

There are no other rules. It does not matter whether it is OO or uses
global variables or, indeed, the occasional 'local'. Provided the
program "works", is simple, obvious and written down well, in my eyes:
it could well be beautiful.
