Pros

Lots of opportunities due to the high turnover, if u r a real sales driver, u may be promoted after a year.

Cons

Totally a product driving business. Outdated system, micromanagement drives people crazy. Since the high turnover rate, management team know nothing but pushing. Not a long term employment for sure. But if you like a high pressure environment with low pay, Cibc is the best place to work.

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.
