Also, General Mills, Target, Whirlpool, P&G, AT&T, Vanguard, BP, Dupont, UTC, Conoco Phillips are all ones that I can think of off the top of my head

someone posted a spreadsheet with quite a few listed before. i don't have it on my home computer but i'll see if it's at work.
could you please post that spreadsheet.
Sounds good, I thought I had a similar spreadsheet somewhere, I was looking for it but couldnt find it.
And I found the spreadsheet, so Ill be adding that in plus the list another guy posted in there!
Hello. Could you pm me the spreadsheets?
The spreadsheets are now the FLDP guide that WSO sells. I bought the guide when I was an intern and I'd definitely recommend it!
Good Stuff.
Intel, Microsoft and Ford have rotational programs for undergrads (I'll find the links after work)
INTC: http://www.intel.com/jobs/usa/students/programs/finance.htm
MSFT: http://careers.microsoft.com/careers/en/us/grad-finance-jobs.aspx#urgra…
Intel also has a program for MBA grads from top programs http://www.intel.com/jobs/usa/students/programs/mba.htm
GE just sent me my rejection letter.
A lot of these FLDP programs recruit the same time banks do I think. A majority of them have closed up for this year.
A few more added. Going to be doing MBA programs, too, as I see them
EMC's link leads to the Hartford's
Fixed
Amazon has a Finance Leadership Development Program for MBA's It's titled as senior financial analyst but in the description it 's called Finance Leadership Development Program. http://university.amazon-jobs.com/mba-careers.html
AT&T also has a Financial Leadership development program for MBA's. http://att.jobs/student-program/flp
Really like the WSO favorites idea, this should be stickied.
D M, Awesome thread first and thanks for taking the time to do this. I noticed the boeing link does not work. Were you referring to this?
http://www.boeing.com/careers/collegecareers/rotational_programs.html#b…
BigBucks: I will add favorites as I hear first hand about companies, for sure
getatme: I'll fix it, thanks!
I've added every company everyone has posted, and I'm currently almost through dublin's spreadsheet. Let me know if you catch mistakes, I will probably be making a bunch!
Somebody ought to sticky this! Great idea D M.
Generally topics don't get stickied, I can probably get it added to the SPOTLIGHT thread though.
Does anyone have info on the JPM Finance Analyst Development Program? I was thinking in terms of comp, specific internal exit ops, culture of the Finance team, etc...
Also, how hard is it to get into? Are they generally taking in top target guys, or is a bit more accessible?
Here's some info: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/jpmorgan-finance-analyst-developm…
If you Google and search the WSO boards, you might find some more
A few more posted. Now I'm at the point where I'm just going through a list of F500 career sites, so additions will be slower. If you have any additions, let me know, I'll add things faster that way.
Great resource, thanks for doing this. It should be huge a help to tons of young monkeys
It's been a while since I've updated this. I noticed a few broken links. I plan on going through it again in the next couple of weeks and fixing those/adding some new companies. If you've got any more additions, let me know!
Navistar International has a pretty good sized program. Finance & Accounting Leadership Development Program (FALD)
They manufacture trucks, engines, etc.
Starting there in June.
Why are none of the major energy corp's on here?
Because I'm extremely busy and haven't gotten around to updating this, hopefully I will soon. If you have info on any rotation programs and put the info here, I'll add them to the list (pretty easy, Google that shit or look through the careers section of their site).
haven't read the responses...
clicked a few of the links...
this is some pretty good work, because I have heard about them but only knew a few companies that do the rotational thing...
long story short, this page will be bookmarked and thanks for posting it...
No problem, if you stumble across any more, let me know and I'll throw em up!
Currently in the process of updating some things/fixing some links. Will be working on it for the next hour or so and will finish up tomorrow (hopefully add some new companies as well)
This is awesome. Thanks DM!
Can we get this list stick-ed somewhere for readily available reference? Thanks.
I'll pass on the request, but I doubt it. It's already included in the stickied topic in this forum (The Other Road). http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/spotlight-the-other-road-rules-an…
if anyone is interested in the thermo fisher FLDP let me know, former participant myself now doing corporate development m&a
Putting GE FMP in the diversified financials category doesn't really capture the scope of the program. I think you're better off putting it in favorites and breaking out the industries (Healthcare, Capital, Energy, Aviation etc) separately.
It probably should be a favorite. It's definitely one of the best in terms of exits to B-School and other F500 roles.
Based on the criteria in the OP, I'll vouch for FMP as being a "favorite".
"*This first section is reserved for great companies that put a strong emphasis on employee development. Feel free to let me know (in private message, if you like) if you know first-hand about any of these programs."
We have heard good things about GE's FMP program on this site and it is probably the most recognizable program. I've talked to a former FMPer, and he confirmed that it's a great program, so I'll throw it up there.
just a thought, key banc has a nice analyst program, it's a great opportunity to get banking experience outside of nyc.
Added KeyBank, Baxter, and a couple of others. Thanks for the heads-up rochon
Does anyone know specifics about these programs for MBA's? It's unclear to me what happens at the end of 2 years in these programs and exactly what kind of role you would move into. Do people realistically move up the ladder and get into executive positions or do people tend to get stuck in middle management?
depends on where your MBA is from and you don't automatically become an executive.
+1
i'd say your chances of moving into an executive role after a...training program...are about 1 in a million. get experience, prove yourself, make friends w/ the right ppl and you'll do well
I understand that, thanks. I meant 10-15 years down the road whether or not these programs open doors for you.
Your questions are extremely vague you need to be more specific if you want to get some helpful suggestions. Which college your MBA is from, what you want to do with your career, which program you're talking about etc.
yes absolutely. snr vp of corp dev at the company i was recently at (f250) was a program graduate.
I apologize, bfin. I went to Georgetown undergrad (economics) and am going to Ross for business school. I worked in AM for 4 years and would like to get into corp development or strategy role, though I know that banking experience is preferred. I have interest both in the power & energy sector and consumer product companies and do not know much about how these rotational programs work. For example, whether or not I would stand a chance of getting recruited into an M&A role in one of these companies (Exxon, Chevron, J&J) and, if not, where I would be placed if I was in a generic strategy or finance role.
PM Monty09. He is the go to guy when it comes to Power and energy.
Thank you!
Excuse me if this has been gone over, I'm a little ignorant to fldps. I'm an Accounting major at a public Florida university so not at a target school at all. I plan to do an MSA to be CPA eligible.
My ultimate goal is to end up at an upper level position at an F500. My original plan was to do Big 4 audit for a few years until the manager level and then try to jump ship to corporate finance. But I'm worried about getting pigeonholed into only accounting type work.
Would an FLDP be a better idea? And do I have a chance as an accounting major at a non target?
Thanks and sorry for my ignorance, --Art Vandelay
As far as easier to move up, I would say it depends on the program and company. It seems like basically every FLDP graduate at my company ends up at least in the Director level (if they stay) at some point in their career because of the network. That said, big4 audit is looked upon very favorably as well and I know people who have moved into my company at Manager levels after doing a stint in big 4. I would say, if you do audit, you may be more pigeon holed to what you can do later. Where with an FLDP program there may be more ability to move around.
I've applied for a Siemens FLDP internship through my OCR program, waiting to hear back for an interview, but thats the only FLDP program that I have seen that recruits where I am. However, its in Georgia, and that would eliminate me from doing any SLPs for a Big 4 firm.
Ultimately, I'd probably want to do something a little less accounting based, more managerial or development type work, so I'm sure the FLDP is the smarter choice, but Big 4 audit seems to be a good mix of safety and potential.
.
That's a lot of work!
Thank you
How would my chances at these Leadership Development Programs be affected by taking a year off after undergrad to do voluntary service? I'm a senior at a small private college with a decent gpa (3.5) and am looking for work experience that will eventually lead to a top bschool.
Northern Trust GOLD
thank you so much for posting this! i'm going to start clicking through all of them, but do you know off hand if any of these programs take place in new orleans?
This is an amazing list and I just signed up so I can say Thank You ... I will definitely be looking into your paid products ... If you guys put this much work into something you offer for free I can only imagine how much more is in the paid products ... (Note: This isn't fake, I'll be graduating with my MBA soon as was looking for a list like this)
Glad you like it, wish I had the time to put more into it. Honestly those links seem to go dead every year or two, but it only takes a couple of hours to compile. With those names you can probably get to their offered programs fairly quickly.
bump
bumping this, hopefully get back to adding more soon
What oil/gas and energy/power rotations are considered to be the best? Sorry if this has been answered, WSO won't let me view the second page.
I got a summer analyst offer for Chevron's FLDP, and they have pretty much 100% conversion rate to the full time FLDP after graduation. I declined for a SA consulting offer, but feel free to PM me if you want any details about their program.
As far as which is the "best" from energy, I would say Chevron is up there. Not sure if you consider GE an "energy" company, but their FMP is widely considered the best rotational program in the country. Chevron hires ~7 SA's per year and takes ~12 people/year for the full time (so basically the previous year's 7 interns plus 5 new hires). There are a variety of reasons I declined Chevron, but one of the main ones is that their rotation doesn't involve placements in corpdev/corpstrat, which are the two groups people often want to end up in. Their's is heavily weighted towards accounting functions (treasury, FP&A, audit, etc.). Here's a link to read more about it:
Full time: http://careers.chevron.com/disciplines/index_of_disciplines/finance/fin… Summer: http://careers.chevron.com/disciplines/index_of_disciplines/finance/fin…
Also, agree with the previous comments in this thread about recruiting. I come from what would be considered a non-target for banking (but target for many other industries/companies), and Chevron takes 1 student/year for their FLDP from my school. I talked to the guy doing the interviews, and he said they basically have 8-10 schools they visit each year and take 1-2 students from each. They hire almost exclusively from the West Coast (think USC, Berkeley, UofWashington, BYU) and take accounting and/or finance majors.
This doesn't surprise me as I've noticed during my time working with clients (I work at one of the BIG4) that most FDLP programs do not place into Corporate Development or Strategy roles as they seem to be geared towards "less sexy" careers such as Financial Reporting, Treasury, FP&A, Tax Accounting and Finance and Accounting Department Operations.
I honestly have no idea and I haven't looked for any. Note that I'm not in industry. I imagine if you get in with any of the major O&G (assuming they have a rotation), you'll be golden. Think BP, Chevron, etc.
Thanks! If go that route I'd be looking to break into an oil/gas FLDP after working at a Big4 firm (most likely)
Most companies won't let you do their FLDP if you're coming in as an experienced hire (i.e. not straight out of undergrad). You'll probably come in as an analyst (maybe senior, depending on your experience) in a specific group, meaning there will be no "rotation/program" - you'll just be a regular employee. If this is what you're thinking, make sure you get placed in a group you want to work in, otherwise you won't be happy.
Really great post. Links may need some updating will try to find a few.

When is the general recruitment period for undergraduate full-time FLDP programs? Fall or Spring?
Generally it's early fall, like the start of the fall semester for the top programs at least. Most companies want to get their recruiting done as early as possible.
Recruiting for internships varies, most will start their recruiting in the Fall and go about midway through spring.
Anyone have suggestions for online resources ( or print) to learn the basics of corp fin and financial accounting? I'm an econ major, but I have no coursework in those two areas ....
I will not tell you to illegally download books. I will, however, tell you that Google is your friend.
Anyone know of any mining companies that have finance rotation programs?
Just from a quick search (AUS): http://www.bhpbilliton.com/home/people/graduates/Pages/graduateprogram…
You'll have to go hunting, shouldn't be hard. Just start searching the biggest companies (scroll to top mining stocks: http://www.mineweb.com/mineweb/content/en/mineweb-mining-finance-invest…) and check out their career pages.
Thanks so much for this info.
OP, any reason for the removal? Would you open to PM-ing the prior list?
It's been added to the guide to FLDP programs. Honestly, for the amount of work that went into putting the list together, that alone is probably worth the $30 price tag.
EDIT: I should say the amount of time it would take someone else to put a list like that together would probably be worth the price tag.
highly unfortunate
OP is still around, just shoot him a PM. It may have been added to the WS database however. That may be the reason for removal.
Anyone know if the guide sheds any light on post MBA fldps? Considering purchasing it, but wanna make sure i'm not throwing away $30 for something that doesn't apply to me.
