Personally I'd go to Oracle.
1) Oracle 2) Accenture 3) Mercer 4) Ford
Not that any of them are particularly prestigious.
I think the corp fin. positions would end up being the most interesting. Those are some major companies.
This would be a great example of the post last week on WSO etiquette. These are very interesting and promising opportunities, but we need to know a little more about your goals, future career path, etc. to get a good idea of what is "relatively" better for YOU.
For clarification sake, I am an undergraduate student in a top 10 undergraduate program majoring in Business Management. I have done three internships, one in VC, another at a boutique consulting firm, and the last at Oracle.
My interest is in business strategy and consulting, but I was not able to secure a position with Bain or BCG. I am looking for something that will give me broad transferable skills during a 3 year period. After that I plan to transition into my father's outsourcing business and eventually take it over. Needless to say, I am looking for a good name brand that will provide me with an exit strategy if I end up not wanting to work with my father.
I initially though Accenture would be promising considering they have a MC practice.
Buster: H&B stands for health and benefits. The analysts maintain a supporting role to the consultants by focusing on implementation of health plans for large companies.
Ford and Oracle >>>> Mercer and Accenture. Both Mercer (HR Consulting) and Accenture (IT consulting) can pigeonhole you pretty quick. They also have no correlation with what you want to do in the future. I think Oracle or Ford could give you broad business skills that would help down the road when running your own business.
On a side note, is Ford in Detroit?
