Hi Evan,
Thanks for such an elaborate piece of information. Are you from Berlin (or other part of Germany?).
(Actually I work for a German company - Infineon Technologies, and visit their Munich campus a few times in a year... but never managed to visit Berlin)
Do you have idea about ESMT Cologne and Munich campus (I mean how they are similar or different when compared to Berlin campus?)
I've done a little research. Those 25 companies basically helped get ESMT off the ground a few years ago, and have some kind of deal where ESMT provides executive training for these companies. MBAs are still only a small percentage of the business education they provide. I'm not sure sure how close their HR departments reach out to the MBA students from the outside, but I suspect there's some interaction.
It's still very young, comparitively speaking. It will be a few years, I suspect, before ESMT will appear on international rankings or get accredited by someone like AMBA.
I visited the Berlin campus recently, and it is very centrally located in an old (but nicely refurbished) East German government building. Right across the street from the German Foreign Ministry and a golf shot away from the Deutsche Telekom offices. Half of the classrooms lookout on the former East German parliament building, which is slowly being dismantled as we speak. There's still stained glass socialist art in the lobby (a first for a business school?), but like I said, the building was rennovated just a few years ago.
