Pros

Nice office and good people in the sections I was in. Worked in a Technology team, so learned a lot. They pay pretty well, and they have a good co-op program in place so its all in all a good place to work.

Cons

I wanted to work for a tech company, so working for a bank was not the best for me. I would advise that unless you like working in the tech parts of a non-software related company then you should steer clear. Not that they are a bad company but there is a different opinion of how to do things than if the companies focus is on the software itself

Pros

CIBC is one of the top five banks within Canada. Being a large corporation employing over 40,000 employees, it is indeed one of the employers to look at when entering the job market. It offers opportunities in all areas, functions and in various provinces and cities in Canada. Its employee base is very diverse. it communcates with its employees very well.

Cons

Career progression at CIBC is normally a uphill task. There is lack of strong correlation between promotion and talent or performance indicating that multiple factors beyond your control are in operation. There is reorganization activity happening all the time.

Pros

CIBC is one of the leading financial institutions in Canada Working for a large organisation that tries to hire from within, create a diverse work force and offers good benefits to its employees are what CIBC has going for it. CIBC's brand "What Matters to Me" is taken to heart by its Directors who seem to continue to work on their transparency in terms of directing and communicating issues to its workers. They have many different Reward & Recognition programs that are performance based to motivate their employees. Most people that work for the bank enjoy a good work/life balance - either through flexible hours, time off in lieu or other ways. CIBC tries to make a difference in the world - outside of just making a steady profit ... The CIBC Run for the Cure particpation is incredible throughout many communities across Canada. CIBC also supports Miracle Day and the United Way. Overall, CIBC is an employer that invites you to be your best, gives you the tools to do so, but like any company - it is up to the individual employees to create their own path.

Cons

The compensation of many roles at CIBC may not be equal to what you can earn doing the same job for another financial institution.
