> in my experience Epita/Epitech doesn't produce good software engineers
Could you explain a bit more? I’m myself from Epitech, and it hurts my feelings :p

Generally, a more generic engineer diploma includes some electrical engineering, mechanics, signal processing, and so on. Sometimes there is a bias against Epita/Epitech candidates that they are too focused on CS or IT but not on more generic knowledge. So they are seen are less well rounded candidates overall.
Designing/building system is usually not a purely abstract CS problem but requires to take into account real world constraints.
On the other hand, I assume that Epita/Epitech candidates are probably better candidate for an environment like a bank or insurance company.
It's true that EPITA is definetely more CS oriented, but we are definetely capable of designing / building system (in IT), less in telecom / medical and even less in automotive.The reason is really simple it's because we are not passionate about these industries .
Btw EPITA is an engineering school not EPITECH so you can't really compare them they are just part of the same group.
... Epitech is a very special little thing.
Sadirac, real old hacker from semantec, build just 20 year the futur of computer school: student become teacher, each test is an automatic correction ...
So, 42 is bully, in my opinion, but Epitech remain la crème de la crème.
