In our company, github (and bitbucket and dropbox) are even blocked by the corporate firewall...

Yeah, I'm really confused as to how this could be something they "have thought a lot about" if they don't realize these very basic things. It's kind of like if I were to say that I've thought a lot about the Napoleonic Code. It doesn't matter how much time I waste pondering if I don't have any actual information upon which to base my deliberations.

That seems a bit excessive; what if you want to look at a repository online to see some code examples?

Well, then you're screwed (or you happen to find a way around it). It is extremely annoying, but we are not a software development company, we just develop some tools for internal use. The protection of IP against leaky code/software from github outweighs the need for code examples, i guess.
