The company I work for, the #1 maker of heavy construction equipment, to get in the Engineering department you need a min 3.5 GPA. Most other departments like accounting and marketing are not as strict though. This woman is crazy about this, a 2.7 is not anything worth mentioning. She would be lucky to get hired by my company as a secretary.

I just want to make a side note that the only reason why GPAs between 2.0 and 3.0 are considered "bad" even though they're passing grades is because too many universities are accepting too many students and in order to keep these students from failing out in their first year standards have been lowered and grade inflation is the result. Degrees were worth more when you needed more than good attendance and a willingness to put in the minimum effort to get a passing grade in a course.
