Is UPenn good at engineering, computer and management&marketings?

<p>

Yahoo recruits here, as well as AMD/ATI and NVIDIA (and I do have the emails to prove it).

</p>

<p>They did some job listings in PennLink (to the OP, PennLink is the career listing website for Penn Student) but I never recall ever meeting them at Penn Engineering Career Fair. Some other companies that list their job openings in PennLink include: HP, IBM, Sun, etc. But I don’t think job listings at PennLink help much, since they’re not visiting Penn campus. You can find the same listings in other online job board like monster or monsterTRAK or hotjobs, etc.</p>

<p>Also if you go to to yahoo career site
<a href=“Careers | Yahoo”>Careers | Yahoo;
you’ll find that they only go to Stanford, MIT, CMU, berkeley, Cornell and the rest.
also for amazon

<p>I just went up to AMD and Nvidia website, they also didn’t mention Penn in their target school list. But their list is incomplete because it’s only filled up until first half of this year. Nonetheless, I don’t remember seeing them in Penn career fair and you can take my word for it. </p>

<p>

the culture at Penn is definitely toward finance and banking. Many of the top engineers go in to careers in business because the culture at Penn promotes it, and the salaries are much higher.

</p>

<p>I somewhat agree, but I also wanna add, it’s because there are not many tech companies interested in recruiting them anyway. Salaries are pretty relative to where you’re working. If you manage to land a job at bulge bracket IB I think you’ll get paid very well but IB only recruits like what? 10%-25% of top students?</p>

<p>

If you’re hard set on a career in tech, you may be happier at a tech school - sitting in classes of thousands of identical peers, or miserable in Pittsburgh.

</p>

<p>LOL, CMU CompSci students being miserable? Studying CS in one of the best computer science school in the nation.. I don’t know about that.</p>

<p>

If you’re considering a career in business someday, Penn’s got options you just won’t find at the other schools - Wall St. doesn’t look much outside of the Ivy League.

</p>

<p>Don’t forget Stanford and MIT, IB recruits pretty heavily in these 2 schools, maybe even more than lower ivy schools :)</p>
