Pros

Easy work with clients, and stable job through recessions

Cons

Overworked and abysed with excessive overtime of 2-3 hours unpaid past 7.5hrs paid per day on salary is common year round. Dramatically underpaid even 5 years into my career with only low $50,000 salary total despite making the company insanely high profits year over year. CIBC is not a company I would recommend to work for or do your career path with due to the excessively low pay in most roles.

Pros

-People were friendly and would do coffee chats/one-on-one lunches. -Other interns were great. -Base compensation as an analyst is on the higher end.

Cons

-Feedback from intern manager only given at the end of a rotation differed greatly from what team members would directly tell me which was confusing. Makes me think people are only nice on the surface. -Team members prioritized some interns over others in terms of work given and time spent. -Teams in the same product group had wildly different work life balance with some working 70+ hours a week and others working close to 40. -Has high turnover overall due to lower compensation at the Director+ level.
