Where does PIMCO recruit from for MBA?

I did a quick scan of the career reports and was surprised that PIMCO was not listed as one of the employers hiring multiple graduates from Wharton. Whereas, it was listed as one for Columbia. Does this just depend on any given year or is there a stronger recruiting presence at Columbia? Also, would be helpful if someone could list their top feeder schools.

Very normal for all of the top AMs (Wellington, T Rowe, PIMCO, Cap Group, etc) to hire only 0-2 people per school. Don't be terribly surprised if a school has a strike out year with a specific shop.

AM has a much narrower list of targets than most other post-MBA careers. Basically you are looking at HBS, GSB, Booth, Wharton, and CBS (Value Investing Program). Some schools will place regionally/with specific firms like Anderson, Sloan, SOM.
