Pros

It's a job. If you need one, they're always hiring due to high turnover.

Cons

- if you want to know what it's like to be managed by the blind, apply here. - depending on which sub-group you work for, management can be really horrible. - do not take a job in the data management / quality assurance team (you've been warned). - morale is low. Workers are miserable. Nice people, but very miserable. - HR doesn't seem to do a good job in screening for good people managers. As a result, the workers are miserable from the lack of appreciation and professionalism that middle mgmt has shown. - look at other bank reviews by employees and you won't see nearly as much negative sentiment as you do with cibc. - consider this review a favour to all who are thinking of applying. You're welcome.

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.
