I'd say nearly every company whose focus isn't software (they employ more programmers than software companies and they use the degree as a screening tool).

- jrockway 16y agoAll I know is that we pay near the top of the industry, and we can't find any programmers. If there were some massive influx of programmers, then a degree might be a good weed-out tool. But the reality is that most people we interview barely get past "write a function to reverse a string", and beggars can't be choosers. Have you written a computer program on your own before? You're hired. (I am exaggerating a little, but there is a shortage of programmers.)
