The question is though, If I were to take one of these degrees on this website and pass it, how would it compare in a perspective employers mind to a 4 year cs major degree?

This specific website? Or just a degree delivered online?

In general, the only thing a CS degree tells me is that you had the fortitude to complete a CS degree, and perhaps (it's not a given) you might be able to practically apply some of what you learned.

Things higher up on the list of considerations include experience (side projects count for graduates), natural ability, hunger, and cultural fit.

Many in our technical team don't have even have a degree and of those that do, around half are not CS or IS degrees.
