I find that you underestimate the training of top undercover agents.

  It's not really a matter of them fooling their co-workers. The access just isn't there, not to mention intensive logging and cross-checking. Google isn't your run of the mill web application where the Sysadmin/DBA is god.

  But could they get through the coding interviews?

  You underestimate the training of your average Stanford CS grad.

    Who says that some of top Stanford CS grads are not working as undercover agents. The way secret services are shown in movies is a little bit different than the real world. All of them recruit top students from different universities. There is no "university for spies", where they teach agents all the skills they need to get the job somewhere. It's the other way around: they recruit people who already have those skills and teach them how to be agents. That's much easier because teaching someone how to become agent is their expertise.

      "...Who says that some of top Stanford CS grads are not working as undercover agents..." Some of them may be... but the others will undoubtedly spot what's going on. These guys are not dull. They REALLY ARE the smartest guys in the room.
