Pros

CIBC has many great employees and clients.The CIBC brand holds solid history in Canada.

Cons

Unfortunately the leaders in CIBC have a continued history of lack of respect for employees. This is often demonstrated by the non existent training given to employees,as well as the extensive overtime that is still largely donated by an employee. The unreasonable sales targets assigned through a Head Office model often lead to year over non achievement which then leads to non payment of bonuses and low performance ratings including for long tenured valuable employees who have solid work ethics who go above and beyond to serve clients and endeavor to achieve individually assigned targets.

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.
