They also employ <100 PhDs. The entire company is small. Might not be worth mentioning as an employed because the chance of getting in is miniscule.

So you're saying that was a sound strategy on their part
they just spent a period of about 10 years making sure they were involved in every major financial scandal due to poor judgment.
Hard to imagine any relationship between that outcome and a policy of exclusively hiring a demographic that's notorious for having high intellectual skills but low life experience. Wait, no, not hard. Easy.
