Their career page acutally says:

"We are a "customer-centric" organization looking for people that want to grow..."

" Is a masters in computer engineering better than two years of experience at a company?"

No, but you should get a masters degree anyway since it'll make it much easier to get your first job and it's actually "proof" of knowledge much more so than work experience. That said, you'll probably learn a whole lot more during your first two years working than the entire time studying.

That'll certainly increase code quality!
