Most of the scenes were filmed in Atlanta, Georgia, and at the Georgia Institute of Technology, which posed as a double for the Googleplex, since the company normally does not allow filming on the actual Googleplex for security and productivity reasons. Vaughn came up with the idea after watching a 60 Minutes segment on Google's work culture, and subsequently brought the idea to director Shawn Levy. Google agreed to work with the film producers, with founder Larry Page noting that "computer science has a marketing problem." Google also felt it would help further explain their "Don't be evil" mantra. Although Reuters reported that as part of the deal Google asked for "creative control", Levy denied the company was involved with the script, insisting that Google only assisted from a "technical" perspective. CNN reported that the studio did give "some control" to Google over the depiction of its products.

[It] would be kind of charming … if this Google-recruitment film, this 119-minute commercial for Googliness, weren’t so downright creepy.
The Internship just might be the saddest movie of 2013. That few will realize this makes it even sadder.
A too-long, one-note affair, predictably following the patterns of any fish-out-of-water comedy you can think of.
It feels 20 minutes over-full at least. Cut out half of the "Flashdance" and "X-Men" references, and you’re halfway there.
There are plenty of films out there competing for your money … 'The Internship' doesn’t even deserve a part-time gig …
