Meanwhile, back at the NCSU career fair, Siemens gave out very impressive paper speakers and the NSA (a government agency spending OUR money) gave away very impressive red water bottles. What does the company that really made business computing happen hand out? Cloth shopping bags. How weak is that. They are trying to win the hearts of engineers with cloth shopping bags. That would absolutely give me pause if I were looking for a job as a geek.
Do I want to go to work with the company that either made speakers cheap enough (or was willing to spend the boat load of money) to hand them out to every engineer at a major university career fair or the company that had their HR department buy cheesy 15¢ cloth shopping bags from China? It is a pretty sad commentary.
