Hire education

While we’re writing about Google, we hear from a friend of Backbytes a small story about just how strange the company is becoming.
Recently his name was put forward as someone who could do some consulting work for one of Google’s many projects, so he popped in to meet them for a chat.
He was surprised, a quarter of a century after he was last a student, to be asked which university he had attended, as for this type of endeavour Google preferred to work with graduates of only a select few institutions.
“Cambridge,” he answered.
“Ah yes,” his inquisitor said. “But which college?”
