Pros

- You can learn alot from the people around you in IT - Hours are decent, no one expects too much from you - It's a decent place to work.

Cons

- My manager shouldn't have ever been hired to manage people. But she would have been amazing at managing just a process - Compared to other companies, CIBC doesn't pay very well for annual salar, even though they continually tell you how lucky you are to get paid "so much"

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.
