Well, yes, of course it is. If someone graduated from Oxford or Harvard then the reputation will follow them for the rest of their lives. It’s bizarre really but it’s also so normal that no one ever stops to question it. Same with some companies, e.g Google, they are 100,000 people now, very far from an elite, but work there even for a few months and you will be an ex-Googler for the rest of your life.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoIs it like that for other FANG companies? Which ones constitute being an “elite”?
- goatinaboat 7y agoMaybe Netflix? The others are just on a level with IBM or HP or MS or whoever now. Big tech companies staffed with average engineers. They are coasting on reputations earned when they were just a few hundred of the best engineers.

- akhilcacharya 7y agoWhy isn’t there an A represented here?
- mav3rick 7y agoDoesn't carry the same weight IMO.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoWhy?
- mav3rick 7y agoDon't know. But you can get better opportunities everywhere with G on your resume over Amazon. Amazon also pays way less and has worse perks in everyway. Google was known to be a great place to work. That legend carries on amongst non tech people.
- akhilcacharya 7y agoAre you saying amazonians are inferior or something? Sounds out of touch and insulting to me.
