I've been at a Big4 for many years... and have been recruiting for my team since ~7-8 years.
There are BIG differences between teams and countries.
E.g. in the UK, we had a policy that for the entry-level intake, no degree was needed. As long as you could pass the rigorous interview/examination process we had. Even I found the process a bit overkill (included English, Mathematics, Logic, Reasoning, etc automated testing followed by x rounds of interviews and an assessment day)
The Swiss team relies MUCH more heavily on degrees from known universities. A STEM subject at ETH, EPFL Oxford, Imperial, Cambridge, Poly.Torino and a handful others. If someone comes with a degree from an unknown university, they are still considered... but if there are two candidates that are exactly the same in performance metrics at the interviews - then the university choice does make a difference.
