Thoughts on MBA LDP’s as opposed to consulting / banking? Most corporations have one (Tech / Healthcare / CPG etc)? For example what have you heard about the best opportunities (maybe Danaher, Amazon, Novartis, GE)? or any other insight would be great.

Siemens CEO program LDP is the GOAT. Better than MBB / BB.

I mean it’s a real path to executive leadership at a F500 - 50-60 hr weeks

Dead end job. Don’t do it. LDPs are what you should only do if out of undergrad you can’t get into consulting and want to break in later. If you’re investing in an MBA, your only goal should be to get a tier 1 job that you actually want. Source: Have personal experience with one of the above mentioned programs (for UG) and would not recommend.

I appreciate your opinion. I do see for example Amazon's MBA EU Rotation (Launch) has a possibility of Sr. Product Manager and Sr. Program Manager, both which seem common exit ops for consulting?

Danaher is THE LDP for MBAs. Many in their leadership are former MBA LDPs. Problem is, not all programs are created equal. The WLB is much better but you’ll take a hit to comp overall. I did Fortives LDP internship but I don’t think they hire MBAs anymore. You’ll have to research the individual LDPs to get a better idea of it’s worth

Crazy range of replies in this thread lol. I’ve heard comp can suck, but have also been told to do these if you want better WLB.
