To be honest, considering the role they're applying for, I would reject their job application too even if it occurred inside a sandboxed environment.

They should know exactly what rm -rf does. The fact they didn't and they still arbitrary ran the command anyway... massive red flags. Could even say he failed to twart a social engineering attack.

The two cases, they knew what it was and they did it maliciously. They didn't know what they were doing and got socially engineered in the process. Both cases are cause for failure.
