In Reply To: I wanted to post a topic. Admittedly I do not know very much about the business world, I have been working in a completely different environment until now. My question is this: What is Capital One's reputation. How are people who have worked at capital one looked upon by business schools and other companies in the same or other industries (i-banking, consulting)?
Message: Some extra questions to the above query. 1) Have people from C1 been selected into top B schools (like Harvard, Wharton etc)? 2) If so at after what level do they generally apply? (Analyst, Sr Analyst etc) 3) Do recommendors (Managers/Sr Managers in C1) give good recommendations to B school applicants? I am from an Science background and currently have an offer from C1. My aim is to get into a good B school and am trying to figure out if my current career (which is an Engineering career) is better or a career with C1 is better from a B school application point. I know it sounds kinda lame but its been driving me crazy after getting all sort of conflicting opinions from other ppl. Gents plz enlighten me ! Thanks.
