      Pros

      Work hours are good when it comes to non-support related jobs. As with any large business there are different areas that have different atmosphere - some stale and some very dynamic. As for the big picture CIBC is a typical large (by Canadian standards) bank, nothing special.

      Cons

      Work has little or no financial recognition for extra effort. As long as person falls into job matrix he/she will be compensated exactly in that range with very little variations, individual contribution has the tiniest impact on the compensation. Work environment is very conservative even for a bank. Change management in the last years took the throne and crippled innovation to the point that business products became non-competitive.

      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.
