On the very first day of my internship at a very big corporation, they removed the free sodas. Even though this was only part of a large collection of cost-cutting measures, it sent the most clear "F*&# you". (There was a number of other fun things that they did, such as allowing certain groups to use their Engineering interns as QA people without ever alerting them that this would be the case) Needless to say, Carnegie Mellon students are heavily discouraged from working there by those of us who screwed up, and I definitely think that the huge dump they took on their recruiting pipeline has affected them negatively in the quality of people they'll be able to hire.
