Pros

I can't really think of any good reasons to work for CIBC right now.

Cons

Our year-end bonuses will likely be laughable, due to our losses in the sub-prime markets over the last year. My manager is horrible, but I can't really lodge a complaint, as she is friends with our district AVP. Morale is extremey low at the branch I'm working in right now - I transferred from a different branch last year, and to be fair, the working environment was much better, due to the better management style of the branch manager. I'd almost be willing to go back to that branch, even though it means cutting my salary by $10000.00/year.

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.
