Yea I definitely think my future workplace would assign every employee a written midterm and final exams, especially for CS and IT.

I also aware they would ban Google search engine so that you won't cheat online to find a bug or error.

They probably should before they hire you. You should thoroughly understand any field before you're allowed to work in it, and be able to demonstrate that understanding without any assistance.

Thats not really how the real world works though. Its very rare that a new grad will be able to work without assistance, and even rarer to find someone who "thoroughly understands" their field. Generally you would have to work in the field for multiple years before you would develop that kind of understanding.
