Pros

Work-life balance is fantastic. Nice view from the upper floors of Scotia Plaza. People are super-nice, but things tend to move slowly.

Cons

Not as fast-paced as I'd normally like. It's obvious the Bank doesn't spend a lot on floors that aren't client-facing. Not everyone is motivated - i.e. there for a paycheck.

Pros

A couple of smart people who are kind and open to mentoring. Hours not bad given no deal flow in US.

Cons

Top heavy management. Culture values heavy politicking. Low bonuses.
