Very, very good in all STEM fields. Pioneers in compsci, famous mathematicians, science Nobel laureates, top 10 ranked UG engineering (Yale is … drumroll 44th in UG engineering!). Brand new Frick Chemistry building has attracted top talent from other universities who want to use shiny new equipment like a massive NMR machine that will be coming in. Microsoft, Google, Facebook come on-campus to recruit all the time and host hackathons, etc.

No need to mention Goldman Sachs and all the other bulge-brackets that come looking for top-tier finance kids. There are basically two, possibly three schools from which you can easily get into Wall Street with a degree in anything (comp lit, Bio, music): Harvard, Princeton, and maybe Yale.
