In many professions it really does count when looking for your first career move after Uni. As Jim2007 said, UBS in one such employer, however there are many other top-tier companies in banking and re-insurance for example and other professions that look at them closely as well. And that since decades.

It doesn’t make any difference once you have valuable career experience under your belt.

I work in a different field (sci/tech) since many years and am now occasionally involved in hiring. Having a distinction such as "graduated with high honours"=high gpa definitely helps at the beginning of your career, but at least for me, afterwards the job experience, letters of recommendation, and interview mean more.
