Cargill for sophomore internship?
Received a corporate finance internship at Cargill - I'm a sophomore at a semi-target. Does the Cargill brand hold any substantial weight for SA recruitment next year? I know it's the biggest private company and make over $130B a year, but seems like a lot of people haven't heard of it.
Heard its a sweatshop and they make you fill out bottles of urine every week to make sure you aren't doing drugs.
In the general corp fin function? Probably no more than any F500 internship. If you can get into the trading or investment side, that could be interesting...
PEInvestor is correct, it will kind of get grouped into a F500 financial experience. The pecking order of best experience for SA recruiting would be 1) IB or S&T sophomore internship 2) investment manager / mutual fund internship (something like an All State Investments for example, or a TRowe or something where you are evaluating companies and thinking about value) 3) corporate financial experience (preferably business development function if possible)
However, this is not at all to say that is a bad option. If you have a good experience where you will be getting responsibility and doing relevant financial work, then there is value to the experience just to show you are interested in finance / business, can take on responsibility and work hard in an office setting etc. etc. When I did SA recruiting I was coming off summers of life guarding and one summer working in Washington D.C. and the hardest thing I had to do was convince people I was actually interested in IB, because I had not work experience in related fields. Everyone said "if you know you want to do business and you could not get a good wall street internship, why did you not take a corporate finance job just to get some experience?". So this would have that value.
Where would commercial/corporate banking , and big 4 audit stand in this ranking?
It depends on the specific role. If you have someone in FP&A for #3, then clearly comm/corp banking is above that. If they are in corp dev, they are going to have a better chance. It is incredibly rare to have UG interns in corp dev, particularly at the level the OP is in college.
Cargill internship. BB FO. (Originally Posted: 10/19/2014)
Hi all,
I recently managed to get an internship with Cargill which will start June 2015 through networking (boss is awesome friend with brother). In addition, I had a 6-months accounting internship with Citigroup ICG (international student: weird education route).
I will be going to college(target) in the fall on 2015 and I am wondering whether my resume is good enough to get a freshman internship with at least some relevant firms?
Also, I know that Cargill is one of the ABCDs but does it have brand recognition on BB FO?
Thanks!
bump.
