Policies
Renege and Offer Policies
Offer Policy for All Employers (except investment banks)
Employers should allow students enough time to make a thoughtful decision. We ask that you do not urge students to make early decisions. Students should be given a minimum of six weeks (or until November 21, whichever is later) to respond to an offer of full-time employment, and three weeks (or until February 20, whichever is later) to respond to an internship offer. The CMC does not condone the use of exploding offers.
Offer Policy for Investment Banks
- First-round interviews for investment banks that want to interview during the first week of internship recruiting are scheduled between January 19 and January 21. Students are required to interview for all first-round interviews for which they sign up.
- Second-round interviews will take place on January 22 and 23 in Ithaca. No second rounds may be scheduled in NYC during this first week of interviews.
- Since some banks opt to hold their first rounds the following week, please schedule NYC second rounds for Friday, January 30. No offers for summer internships will be made before 5:00 p.m. on January 23.
- Students will be given 10 business days or until February 6 to make a decision about accepting an offer.
- The CMC does not condone the use of exploding offers.
Johnson School Policy on Reneging Job Offers
The Johnson School views any student reneging on an offer as an extremely serious violation of policy which can result in loss of all CMC services for the remainder of their time at the Johnson School, and exclusion from all alumni services for one full year after graduation. Likewise, any company that rescinds an offer is barred from on-campus recruiting for one full recruiting year. Karin Ash, the Director of the Career Management Center is available to help employers work through any of these issues.
