Although a degree seems to be a poor predictor of performance in a software engineering role (http://blog.alinelerner.com/how-different-is-a-b-s-in-computer-science-from-a-m-s-in-computer-science-when-it-comes-to-recruiting/ http://blog.alinelerner.com/how-different-is-a-b-s-in-comput...), I am sure the percentage of people with degrees at Google is higher compared to "normal" companies.

Now, I hire engineers for different companies in Switzerland.
