Overall a pretty rough experience. Johnson has 2 people managing 500-600 students at once, which says a lot about the resources dedicated to the program.
Career options: underperforms vastly in all areas except investment banking and consulting. Even in these two areas, the performance is mediocre at best and the numbers published by the university are vastly overstated. It is ok for students that fit the consulting/IB profile to the T (e.g. age, prior background etc). Anything outside these industries: you are on your own.
Quality of classes: poor (although that is not why one typically goes to business school, so I will give it a pass).
Community: this is really the worst part. The MBA program is an exercise in group think and yes people. Those that think differently than what is deemed acceptable by administration are publicly shamed. This mindset translates to the student body as students are brainwashed by extreme political correctness. Critical and independent thinking is virtually non-existent. Administration uses its platform to push political agendas and take stances, which more closely resembles a media organization than an institution for higher education.

What even is this review? Every school pushes a politically correct "agenda" as you call it. Why? Because society writ large does. Meaning the companies that you will work for do. If you had a problem with the Cornell MBA for this reason, you would be guaranteed to have found every single T20 program equally dedicated to what you refer to as "political correctness".
