I think that working at a company like Fog Creek or 37 Signals would be seen as highly prestigous, but only by a pretty limited audience: those that follow software development blogs.
Whereas working at Google, pretty much everyone who has touched a computer is familiar with who Google is.
So I guess it depends on what your intended audience is.

And they'll also generally think you're somehow in charge of search and e-mail at Google. :)
Kind of like having been in the Air Force and everyone asking you what kind of jet you piloted.
