Employer Testimonials
“The Simmons MBA program has been the path to leadership opportunities for some of our most valued associates. With the benefit of a Simmons MBA, they are able to combine their analytical perspective with a deep understanding of how strategy and execution come together. In every part of our business, they are using their talents and training to make real contributions to our success.”
Brian Moynihan, President, Global Wealth & Investment Management, Bank of America
“Bringing in a Simmons MBA intern was a beneficial experience for both the organization and the student. This opportunity enabled her to apply her technical and analytical skills "outside of the classroom" as she worked with the Finance Staff on several different projects. The experience was truly a win-win.”
Donna Desmond, CFO, The Kensington Investment Company
“I have had the great fortune to hire two experienced Simmons MBA alumnae in the past year. They immediately were able to step into newly created and somewhat ambiguous roles, add tremendous value to our organization, and help us drive much more effectively towards our goals. I think the best measure of their strength is that I am completely comfortable with them representing MGH in any setting.
Our experience with career services has been wonderful. The process is incredibly smooth… it's like having a high-end executive search firm at your side.”
Tony James, Director, Network Development, Massachusetts General Hospital and Massachusetts General Physicians Organization
“We had the occasion to partner with the Simmons SOM Career Services Office for the first time last year. Our experiences with other career centers have been lackluster in that they tend to offer not much more than a posting on a job board. From the first, Lisa Toby, Director of Career Services, set the Simmons Career Services Office apart with her knowledge of our organization, her knowledge of her students and her active involvement in real match making.
On paper, Simmons graduates are as polished as they get and it's clear the school encourages relevant work experience to complement the academic programming as most of the resumes showed significant experience in related fields. Every applicant we saw for a Marketing position we had open at the time was prepared, articulate and thoroughly qualified. We ultimately hired one of our Simmons applicants and six months later we are still extremely happy we did! Working with the Simmons SOM Career Services Office is much like partnering with an attentive recruitment firm - the process is solid, the candidates are well prepared and the follow through is excellent. We intend to continue to call on Simmons for our future recruitment needs.”
Julie Lynch, VP, Human Resources, Computerworld and InfoWorld
