As a company grows, it's inevitable some bad hiring decisions get made, and then bad promotion decisions get made, and then you're in for it.

I used to roughly think of it as "elite", "near elite", "very good", and "maybe so so".  Some of the best folks I hired came form maybe so so.  A guy from some elite school mayb think the world owes him as a result.
I think you are right about ranges. I don't think hiring managers are looking at a graduates from Ohio State and Purdue and saying "forget the Boilermaker, they are only #51, we are going with the Buckeye, they are #49", nor are they saying "forget the Scarlett Knight or Terp, those schools are tied for #55, we are going with the Boilermaker, they are #51."

That said, at some point you get far enough apart that it DOES make a difference. A degree from #10 Northwestern is clearly more valuable than a degree from #151 Nebraska. 

Where exactly those lines are is hazy and varies by individual.

The absolute worst engineer I've ever worked with graduated from Stanford.

The best, graduated from directional UT-San Antonio.

Didn't even know the domers had an engineering school.  I guess you learn something new every day...

Stanford is the UTSA of fancy private schools. It is known.

My founding partner went to Wayne State on the GI Bill. Great engineer. 

Another great engineer I worked for went to Bradley. 

The most brilliant engineer I know went to Purdue for his BS, MS and Ph.D. He's got his name on the program linked below, and he was awesome to work for. He taught me a lot and helped me through school.

Christopher B. and Susan S. Burke Graduate Program - Lyles School of Civil Engineering - Purdue University

The worst I've ever worked with went to ND for his BS and then USC for the MS. 

Man, he just sucked. I got him fired.

better option than Cali
This may be unfair, but I really think there's something to it......players from California "don't fill out the back of their pants."
It's not an insult in any other meaning than it seems to me they're far behind on non-Polynesian athletic fat bodies.
Am I alone on that?

I love the 1-person sample sizes, guys.

There is only one OL I can remember UW taking from Cali. He simply could not add weight and was advised to look elsewhere if he wanted to play. He was recruited to UW in 2014 (HC Gary Andersen).

4* bust.

Sorry. That's all I got for OL from California.

Cali seems able to generate at least one decent tight end ...

Not this 4* bust. Recruited by the same coach who recruited the 4* OL bust.
