Google, Microsoft, and other firms have the pick of employees. They only hire the smartest, brightest folks, and they expect them to work incredibly hard and excel. Typically, folks they want to talk to are in the top ten of their classes.

Google does a lot of deep algorithmic work. It's hard and requires a lot of study of algorithms to be good at it. Yes, they want the best. But they do have a reason behind wanting formal study.
