Focus on delivering innovative solutions to our clients in a radically simple fashion (radically simple when possible). Highly engaged workforce Talented executive team that has engaged its workforce in pursuit of service to our clients Competitive compensation and benefits packages

Capital Markets can be a demanding work/life balance

Challenging, financially rewarding, average work-life balance depending on the group

Cons

Everybody is a director, not sure if everyone is maximizing client revenues and perhaps drive is the primary reason

Pros

Cons

-like any other investment bank, long hours

Pros

Lots of nice peoplee, good training for rotational employees, average to good work-life balance

Cons

Management change every few years with massive rounds of firing each time, "fit" is not about skills or personality match but favors owed/given, poor reputation compared to other Canadian banks, little promotion opportunity at the mid and senior levels, top-heavy, below average compensation

Pros

Some of the good things about working at CIBC World Markets are the great location and valuable experience. Also, if you're not a trader, work-life balance is decent.

Cons

Very little to no training is provided, and compensations seems to be lower than comparable banks. There sees to be a relatively high turnover as well.
