Airbnb, Facebook & Apple MBA Vacancies

Last autumn, after I wrote an essay about whether an MBA makes good business for potential engineering career candidates, I got several e-mails asking myself how the b-school would fit into the recruitment schedules of certain technology companies. Each of the companies we visit is planning to employ at least a few MBA trainees next year ( from some at Pandora to 50 at Adobe).

These figures are paltry compared to incumbent MBA providers. McKinsey, BCG and Deloitte, for example, each recruited more Fuqua trainees last year than Airbnb, Pandora and Workday are planning to recruit from all Fuqua secondary education colleges together next year. So, as my full-length paper mentions, the B-School is not a gold mine for a smaller, former technology company.

Obviously, if your vision of a great technical career borders on technology guys like Amazon, Microsoft and Google, there are definitely more possibilities. Don't suppose that an MBA opens all technical gates the same. Although it is more difficult to penetrate technology than a more traditionally MBA sector such as consultancy or financial services, our trips have shown that there is a good opportunity:

While each of the 10 companies was planning to employ at least a few trainees, many had no plan to employ full-time staff directly from B-School. Now that an industry placement is a great opportunity for a company to "give it a try before it buys," and many of them have historic full-time-to-internal converting percentages (e.g., 80% on Facebook and Salesforce), there simply isn't that much need to take a risk on unsubstantiated full-time employees.

The statistics do not take into account the many occasions when these companies recruit MBAs through the off-campus recruitment system (i.e. a graduate MBA submits an application on-line vs. through his school's specific recruitment system). However, this trial is usually more competitively (as you compete against seasoned industrial hires) and later in the match (just-in-time in the early part of the year vs. stitching an autumn bid on campus), requiring more patient and risk-taking.

Whilst some of the biggest technology MBA companies (e.g. Amazon and Microsoft) are generally open to all, regardless of context or work state, we have found that many of the companies we visit are indeed much more restricted. Out of all the companies we went to, only Saleforce specifically said they were open to recruiting employees with all possible credentials.

While most others explicitly wanted their products manager to have an IT history and their other MBA graduates to have at least some pertinent experiences from their previous role (e.g. Airbnb wants their staff in fire department to have agent experience). Whilst the technology sector was generally pounded for variety, it was particularly challenging to change the face of its workforce on the technology side, where there is a finite supply chain of different nominees.

Considering that the worlds of biz schools have at least taken on the coat of variety faster than their colleagues at schools of technology, technology companies see their MBA attitudes as an important way to tackle this problem. If you are interested in these companies and have the opportunity to join the Consortium, MLT, Reaching Out, ExecuVets or similar possibilities, do so!

While Adobe and Salseforce were remarkable for their plan to continue sponsoring most parts despite the various H1-B issues that are emerging, many of the companies we have worked with either have no sponsors at all (e.g. Facebook and Workday) or very little sponsoring opportunity (e.g. Pandora only for products, LinkedIn only for BizOps).

So if you’ are an internationally minded college graduate considering an U.S. based college, you know that while some parts of the U.S. technology community are still widely open to you (again, major companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Dell have a tendency to fund widely), there are others that may not be quite as available.

In order to get a better feeling for each of these particular companies, read my full guidelines on their recruitment schedules - from the precise positions they want to fill to what they are looking for in people. However, the clear patterns in all companies is that they very much appreciate the strength of the MBA labour force.

While more and more graduates are wishing to work in technology, there are currently far fewer MBA technology positions than in the areas of consultancy, financial services or CPG. In this way, the technology companies can at least for the moment have the say in who they employ.

So if you have a deep love for Airbnb, Facebook or one of the companies here, be sure to do so.
