No. A lot of my former classmates from Stanford work at Google and Facebook. Among the engineers, there is a pretty clear trend that the more hacker-like ones are at Google (or Microsoft Research) and the more financially-motivated ones (primarily concerned with prestige, nice car, nice house, meals @ the French Laundry) are at Facebook. Maybe it's just that the latter couldn't get into the former company, I'm not sure. Among the non-engineers (human resources, etc), the employees that I know look a lot more similar.
