CIBC World Markets Employee Reviews about "long hours"

Pros

Quality work, nice people, lots of opportunity to learn

Cons

Mediocre salary, work sometimes involves long hours

Pros

nice team, good salary. good learning experience

Cons

even if the hours are better than at other tier1 banks, still long hours.

Pros

Good exposure to senior management. Progress in the role really depends on how supportive your manager is. If they support you then you go places. If not I've seen people being stuck in the same role for years

Cons

Fast paced environment can lead to long hours, depending on project

Pros

Many growth opportunities Many benefits such as health insurance, share purchase plan! Motivating companies to work for and very focused on client experience

Cons

Long hours. Sometimes they hire terrible people to fill quotas which I find is a big waste of money and time for the bank and people working with then

Pros

Its a good place to learn to manage and run your transactions almost as if its your own business - it gives you an insight into Entrepreneurship. I was able to do things my own way close deals the ay i saw fit obviously the realm of company policy. Its also a very relaxed and friendly environment. I was part of the real estate finance group in NY city, which is a very small neat bunch. Great benefits. Good compensation. The harder you worked the more money you made.

Cons

Diversity, Long hours, working weekends and late into the night (1am). - its banking so you should expect it. Time off - 4 weeks for associates and above and 3 weeks for analysts and administration staff. Promotions - It was not very clear how promotion was achieved, except that it was your manager and other MDs that agreed based on your performance and how you worked with everyone else.
