>...does that make you or your colleagues think they are a better developer? Better developer? No. More interesting candidate? Yes. The logic is simple, if someone has successfully gone through the hiring process at a company that's renowned for having a stringent hiring process and then gone on to spend at least a couple of years at said company then I already know that it's worth investing some time in finding out why this particular candidate was strong enough to convince <insert-top-tech-company-here> that they were worth hiring.
