Pros

- Such a large company that you can find new career opportunities without ever leaving. - High standards for ensuring employee satisfaction and yearly targets for management to continuously improve on it. - Common theme across the company is to promote individual growth. To those on here who complain otherwise, look for a new position! The groups that do not promote this are the minority and not reflective of CIBC as a whole. - Majority of coworkers are pleasant and working for the best interests of everyone. - Great work/life balance. For those complaining otherwise, CONTACT HR! CIBC has very strict overtime policies and if your management isn't obeying them then complain to the people who created them!

Cons

- Lots of process as others have mentioned however it is for the benefit of everyone. Being a financial institution requires tight controls over change to ensure uninterrupted business. While process can be a pain in the rear end, it's a necessary evil in the financial industry.
