What companies are still giving sponsorships for international students?

Yesterday I checked my school's website for FT recruiting. It seems that OW is not giving out sponsorships anymore...can anyone confirm that?

McK and Bain are still giving.

Thanks.

Hi,

The thing is it also depends on the local office. For instance, I'm fairly surprised you said OW doesn't offer MBA sponsorships, I know for certain that the London office does (or at least did back in February).

I've also heard things vary for BCG. Some offices do, others give it to a few best performers.

Roland Berger - I've heard things about some of their CEE offices - they didn't seem to have a specific policy, but it's again conditional on performance and you discuss this with the partners and negotiate.

McK as you mentioned traditionally do sponsor, regardless of the office. I even remember hearing you are kind of pushed to pursue an MBA in order to continue your carrier growth at some point.

 

I can confirm that OW no longer sponsors (at least at the undergraduate level). I am not sure about at the MBA level.

 

lol I don't know who out there is throwing all this MS but my answer still stands. I have proof by way of personal experience last recruiting cycle that they no longer sponsor undergrads. So I don't know who gave MS or why, but my information is 100% solid for the USA. They did offer alternatives such as through Asia but I wasn't interested. Great company though with lovely staff!

 

Thanks. Do you know when does Alix start recruiting for FT positions out of undergrad? Also, do you know what schools are their targets?

Persistency is Key
