I believe it would, if the other company obeys to this constrains:
* has a very large number of top-notch/rock star engineers and this fact is widely publicised
* has a history of producing products with a very good quality (at least in the area under discussion, in this case reliability, performance and scalability)
* has been on the market and successful for a long period of time
* engineer opinion within the company carries weight and rules are not blindly dictated from above.
There are many other good companies, hiring extremely bright people.
However, it's interesting to learn about what arises from the requirements of a company with the above listed characteristics.
I'm sure some people will just cargo cult everything googly, but there are also those who have a genuine interest and know when to apply those things if they make sense for them.
