Probably why they're top ranked in terms of prestige. The culture must be incredibly cohesive and consistent at the management level......according to these rankings.

@"CountryUnderdog", these rankings "suck" cause they aren't based off prestige, which is all we care about when recruiting. But for career bankers, or kids who are more interested in fit than they are in telling their friends where they work, these rankings do provide insight into uncharted territory.

I'm sorry WSO but please stop with these. Pure crap.

"They are all former investment bankers that were laid off in the economic collapse that Nancy Pelosi caused. They have no marketable skills, but by God they work hard."
