What if the company loses $1mil? Does the intern get no pay?
What if the advancement is in the wrong direction in the market? Like Windows Mobile was. You could have built a great system that delivered a few hundred million in sales, but two years down the road it cost the company a few billion in costs. Do you get to pay back your share?
I'm not advocating here for the work to be uncompensated - it's just when you get a risk shield, you also lose the payout shield.
Maybe a better culture of coop's would be a better solution.
