Mannheim Business School, 冷门区域性学校，德国第一， 我刚从那边毕业。下面是我在另外一个论坛写的，是英语的，我懒得翻译成中文了。我当时随便写了一下，没有时间proof-reading, 里面的语法或者不好的用法我请见谅, 希望对于想申请曼海姆商学院或者德语区的MBA有帮助。
My MBA Experiences at Mannheim Business School
I just graduated from Mannheim Business School. And I think it would be helpful to people who are interested in becoming a Mannheimer to know what they would expect here.
*****Job prospects after the MBA*****
Though it is not easy to find a good job due to the sagging economy, most of our classmates already secured an MBA-level job. I think a few of them are struggling a little bit, but it is just a matter a time for them to get something, and good news do come from time to time.
The major recruiters for Mannheim-MBA graduates are:
Bosch (I heard 5 students got an offer from Bosch, including me, but Bosch has the "local for local" concept so they might send you back home, so I am working in Shanghai as BD Manager now, but on a regional (Asia-Pacific) level.
Amazon
General Motors
Bombardier
KPMG
SAP
Freudenberg
Merck
Other relatively unknown SMEs
A few NGOs
A few small IT consulting firms
No way or nearly impossible to get in first-tier consulting firms such as MBB. Second-tier ones such as big four and Accenture are possible but not easy. I got invitations from KPMG and NTT Data, but did not go to the interviews at that time as I already had offers from Bosch, Microsoft and a small consulting firm. I interviewed with Accenture, Deloitte Digital but they rejected me after 5 rounds of interview. I speak at least C1-level German, but still not good enough for them because their clients are mainly German SMEs located in villages in the middle of nowhere. However, those firms, including MBB, love to recruit undergraduates from the university.
A few classmates are still actively seeking for jobs and having interviews in Germany, a few went back home directly after graduation and did find a decent job out there, a few give up searching for jobs in Germany and now start to look for opportunities in their home countries or somewhere else, a few classmates are doing internships, and I think it could be a good way for them to land a job thereafter. Luckily they all have the 18 months visa. I firmly believe that they will find something eventually based on what happened to the previous batch, it is indeed just a matter of time and luck.
The career service did a decent job in terms of finding potential recruiters for the MBA students. At the beginning we complained a lot because it did not look as beautiful as it should be. But they tried really hard. I guess it is not their problem because generally speaking, German companies do not want to recruit MBA students and pay high salaries for them. I guess this situation won't get better even in 10 years. That's why we use "Mannheim" significantly more than "MBA" when we were looking for jobs beca
