The Information Technology (IT) analyst program is an excellent platform to begin a career at Lehman Brothers. The Technology Development Program (TDP) consists of an initial training program in which all new IT analysts participate. You will continue to receive general IT training throughout the first year, in addition to role-specific training identified by your manager.

You will participate as a fully contributing member of selected project teams, working with employees at all levels on diverse assignments including:

• Writing technical specifications.
• Assisting with the implementation of projects.
• Documenting application changes.
• Focusing on new developments and maintaining and updating applications for established systems.
• Partnering with senior developers/senior engineers to become familiar with technical and business characteristics specific to the Firm’s application development life cycle and infrastructure.

Group Placement Process

You can expect to work in one of the following roles:

• Infrastructure support and engineering.
• Systems development and support.

As an IT analyst, you will be placed directly into a specific group and begin working in your group immediately after completion of the IT analyst training program.

Feedback And Review Process

As an IT analyst, you will participate in the regular Firmwide review process. Using the Lehman Performance Management System (LPM), you will identify goals, measure progress, establish professional development plans and receive regular performance reviews.

Advancement Process And Timeline

In accordance with Firm and divisional policies, you will be promoted based on outstanding demonstrated skills, performance, leadership potential and values.

Mobility Opportunities

Lehman Brothers supports mobility across divisions and regions. If you are interested in pursuing other opportunities within IT or throughout the Firm, you are encouraged to speak with your manager or your Human Resources generalist. In general, you must be in your current role for at least one year, and have demonstrated strong performance in order to transfer within the Firm.

Mentorship Programs

	“The IT analyst program is an excellent platform to begin a career at Lehman Brothers.”

Our focus on mentoring — at all levels of your career — is one of the cultural traits that distinguishes Lehman Brothers. As an analyst, you are assigned a “buddy” who serves as a point of contact for you during your first few weeks in the program. You will also have an opportunity to participate in a broader mentoring program across the IT Division.

Training

Initial training typically begins in July of each year, and the curriculum includes the following modules:

• Introduction to working at Lehman Brothers.
• Capital markets and corporate finance seminars.
• Technical skills training.
• Divisional technology presentations.
• Professional development classes.
• Teambuilding and networking activities.
• Final project and presentation.

Instructors include both Lehman Brothers speakers and third-party consultants. You will spend the last five weeks of training on a final project sponsored by a Lehman technology group. The project is designed to integrate all aspects of your training and help ease the transition into your future technology group.

The training culminates with a formal presentation for the CIO and other IT senior managers discussing the architecture, business requirements, and development challenges of the project.

Additional ongoing training that the Division makes available to you includes: technical, project management and business analysis skills classes, and a wide array of capital markets training.
