Indeed. Look at the institution best paper awards: http://jeffhuang.com/best_paper_awards.html#institutions http://jeffhuang.com/best_paper_awards.html#institutions
There are several companies (and not just universities) in the top 20. Microsoft leading.
- reuven 11y agoOh, how could I have forgotten Microsoft? Microsoft Research has a lot of amazing people working there, doing very impressive stuff.
- jamessb 11y agoBut most of the people in the 'Research' departments of companies will have PhDs. For example, see the list of full-time positions at MSR [0]: both 'Researcher' positions require a PhD (Researcher - "Successful candidates will have a Ph.D", Post-Doc Researcher - "Applicants must have completed the requirements for a PhD, including submission of their thesis, prior to joining Microsoft Research"), and it sounds like it is helpful for some of the 'Technical' postions (Research Software Development Engineers - "RSDEs are strong software developers with a Bachelor’s Degree, and often a Masters or Ph.D. in computer science"). There are 'Non-PhD Researcher Opportunities', but only in India and China.

- tellarin 11y agoI'm at MSR in China and I have to say that, even though there are a few researchers without PhDs here, they are not that many. And having a PhD and a body of work does help a lot in the interview cycles.
