Pros

security of a big bank. CIBC is expanding, so there are many opportunities I can move on to in the next few years.

Cons

some computer software is old. In the process of upgrading though. Saturday rotational schedule and extended business hours make schedule a little odd. However this is still much better than TD. TD opens till 8pm during the week, and 7 days a week. Not sure how TD employees manage their personal lives with a schedule like that.

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.
