This is a perfect catchphrase for a problem I've warned other startup entrepreneurs about. Over-crediting a resume that has a very impressive name brand company on it. It may or may not actually signify much depending on what they actually did, know and how they think. I learned it during the interview process with a candidate for CFO referred by a board member who was impressed by where they used to work. Fortunately, the candidate and I both realized he'd probably be fairly bad at working on the financial challenges ahead of our 35-person-going-to-100-people startup.
