Yes, but the new intern would be able to read all the source and "secret sauces".
I doubt that an intern on Google would've access to the search codebase. I'd wager that only a handful of trusted employees have access to that codebase.
- Jasper_ 13y agoAll Google code is stored in one master repository, for all products. An intern can look at the search code.
- skj 13y agoNot so. Search is specifically sequestered.
- why-el 13y agoGoogle is also one source tree I think.

- slig 13y ago> If you don't trust your employees why did you hire them? On a small company, I agree. But on FB they're around 5k people. Let's say they have 3k engineers, that's a awful lot of people they're trusting with their source code
