Great place to start your career, avoid all branch level jobs - Associate CIBC Employee Review

Pros

Compensation is strong with a focus on pay for performance in non-branch roles (i.e private wealth & investment banking). Local and regional management is actively involved in day to day activities. Motto would be: people take their work seriously but don't take their egos too seriously

Cons

Outdated technology platform. Both internal and client facing software requires significant overhauls to get into the 21st century. As with all major banks, administration and sales targets create unneeded pressure.

Pros

The NY location is close to Grand Central Station

Cons

Slow Canadian culture that finds it challenging to meet US regulatory standards. Executives play favorites and gaslight employees, if you voice your opinion, they either silence you or try to manage you out with exaggerated "performance issues"
