Best Companies to work in Corporate Finance

Hey guys,

I'm trying to compile a list of companies that are good places to work in the realm of corporate finance. Reasons being good environment, compensation,job opportunities, quality of work, management, growth opportunities, etc. I'm trying to figure out the top companies to work for in corporate finance.

Thanks guys!!

 

Walt Disney is #1 running away but good luck getting in.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 

I did a SA position with Siemens Industry, and they are a great company that really takes care of their employees, and you will be compensated competitively but more that some companies such as J&J.

 

Best field is probably corp dev or corporate strategy and product management. Best firm would probably be any tech company ( the google, apple, microsoft, etc. of the world) or a growth firm with stock options. Internal consulting teams are probably up there too.

Networking into corp fin is similar to investment banking, but will not involve the same amount of time and overall effort. The best way to network is to attend career fairs at school, corporate presentations, and campus visits. Always ask for a business card and follow up with questions after you've met the individual.

Compensation in corp fin is the same for all incoming new hires. You could negotiate a higher starting salary, but the number is basically fixed. Once you begin working, you may ask for a raise; however, you will most likely have performance reviews every six months at which point your manager will make the decision on whether to give you a raise.

Hope this helps.
