There was a similar thread for all universities. Would be interested in peoples perspective for the UK in particular.
Ranking of UK PhD Programmes based on Placements

I find amazing the amount of very strong assertions on this Forum. All said without evidence.
Here is the full academic placement over the last 5 years from Cambridge.

In 5, yes.
Now, I'm not sure which world you're living in. What's the number of top 10 placements of Oxford in the last 5 years? UCL? Warwick? Bocconi? Pompeu Fabra? IIES? Zurich? PSE? Michigan? BU? UCLA? Maryland? Brown? Duke? Cornell?
I don't keep all the placements lists in my head but I would be very surprised if the median answer is not zero, with a max of maybe 2 for a couple of schools in that list.
So, please let's get real with facts
^ This is pretty horrible. In 6 years, Cambridge managed one (1) top-10 placement?
