I've worked at Google. It is the organization with highest concentration of engineering talent I've ever been at. Almost to the point that it is ridiculous because you have extremely good engineers working on internal reporting systems for middle managers.
If everyone is great. Someone has to draw the short straw.
At MIT they said: You know the kid who sat at the front of the room. Now you are with ALL of the kids who sat in the front of the room. Guess what? There's still going to be a kid who sits at the front of the room.
I'd imagine Google or anyplace with a stiff engineering filter will have the same issues.
