Pros

Worked in different markets saw how great this company can run, but this market Stoney Creek, HBO, run horribly. MVP is a micro-Manager and surrounds themself in an echo chamber of CGM's that just bob their head and agree, Not the most brilliant tallent in that market when you hire people to just simply agree with you, However in CIBC there are some generally amazing markets to work for and amazing MVP and CGM's, however Stoney Creek specifically and the Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville Market is a gong show. I wouldn't work anywhere near these people, as you will not thrive. You will go from hero to zero within a week, depending on the flavor of the week they want to push, it always changes, they will say its consistent but it isnt,.

Cons

What I said above, HBO specifically Stoney Creek is run horrible for Financial Planners.

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.
