-large firm, difficult to be noticed amongst the crowd -compensation package, relative to other positions in same field is avg -beaurocracy -seems that mgmnt seems to be disconnected from the avg employee-most likely all large firms feel this -morale, seems to be at a low; i personally work at cibc mortgages and lending, over the past few years things have gone downhill; morale low, nepotism rampant, over worked under paid

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.
