All of them. A good school will be useful to get recruiters to talk to you.

That said, you won't get any extra points just for being in a good school. Your interview performance is what will matter.

Note: this is just about preferring those schools, and mainly during the initial screening stage.

It would not be wrong to say that all companies have people who are not from well known schools. Some of the employees don't even have a Bachelor's degree!

Yahoo prefers top schools even at offer giving stage due to their CEO M.M.
