Business Week: Best place to launch your career! #22 Lehman Brothers

This is a big joke right?

'The financial services giant gives entry-level hires something to look forward to--employees own about 30% of company shares.'

Nonetheless, until a few months ago we thought that Lehman would be fine, then BSC collapsed. I imagine that the 2008 rankings came out in late 2007/early 2008 so the information it was based on was probably not that bad and the decision wasn't bad for the info that they had.

So what do you do? -I work for an investment banking firm. Oh okay; you are like my brother, he works for Edward Jones. -No, a college degree is required in my profession

Reality hits you hard, bro...
 

GG! Bad Market Timing FTW! I just can't stop laughing at how horrible the timing of this looks. I think we all agree that they would have made a fine company to work for if they were still around, 2 weeks later, but we can all agree that releasing this issue was the worst thing that Business Week could have done to improve their street cred with the bankers who read it.
