I disagree. See: hordes of new CS graduates that feel they are completely unprepared for an entry-level software engineering job, or their interviewers.

There's often a gap between what the employer wants and market reality.
The employer really expects devs to be productive on day one and not have any training to do. Often they whine that a CS education isn't more like a bootcamp. But that's not how it works.
If all someone knows is plumbing API and rote memorized glue code, don't expect much. If someone went through CS, expect to see a different caliber of work for the same task.
Believe me, it's night and day and a lot of orgs have no clue what real engineering talent looks like: they never had any to begin with!
