The companies thought of having good engineers don't actually have good engineers. When there's a "prestige" with working somewhere it attracts the worst personalities in the field.
It ain't the same as the Bell Labs days. They try to larp as if they are the computer scientists of old but none of them are. They are just there for the salary and prestige and that's it.
Yeah, I don't know if they're incredibly good engineers. We know they may have gone to Ivy League schools and for sure are excellent at algorithms during job interviews.
I applied there a long time ago and they seemed more interested in my math background and schooling and coding than my work experience.
