Pros

Great People. Great Benefits. If you are in a technology role there is a broad spectrum of hardware and software that you can get involved in. A wide variety of training is available both techical and managerial.

Cons

Change and Politics drive the organization. The base pay is below what I have come to expect from other organizations I have worked for. Upper management does not seem to know what they are doing in running the Bank. They first loose $2.4 Billion due to Enron, then over $6 Billion due to the fallout of sub prime mortgages. If there is a way to walk into a wall CIBC will find it.

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.
