The developers at those companies are just... normal developers.

how many people have designed systems that made their company into a F500 and how many of them do you think go through this process we're discussing?

Not that many which is the point. It's weird to me that people see a successful company and then ascribe some of that merit to the potential candidate sitting front of them, ignoring the fact that they were one of thousands. I don't see working at a F500 as an accurate predictor of success.
I see this kind of thinking often and it has certainly influenced my hiring decisions and my own career but there is a flaw.
There is a difference between someone who designed a system _at_ a F500 and someone who designed a system that got them _to be_ a F500. In a big company, there's lots of room to hide and bullshit.
