- ... There is one school, Biola University, that is actually known within the company and among the HR staff as producing employees and long-term leaders that perform on par — and even better overall — than those from the prestigious UC or private universities. While the number of employees hired is much smaller, Biola grads are almost inevitably successful within the very demanding and stressful research and consulting arena.”
