Started by former head of banking at CIBC.
Heard they are a very intense place. Kind of like a UBS LA without as many exit opportunities and doing 50mm IPO and really mm M&A in Canada.
Lots of star power tho in Canada.
They are recruiting at my school, Concordia University and was wondering how many employees they have in order to get an idea of how many they'd be hiring.
dfratz, I'm at JMSB also....
David Kassie, former head of IB at CIBC World Markets, left CIBC in the wake of the Enron debacle (CIBC paid billions in settlement money). He chilled for a year or so then raided CIBC for some of their best talent in Toronto and started Genuity largely with his own money and that of the folks he poached. They are a boutique M&A focused investment bank with "star" power but have made very few inroads and haven't been the powerhouse threat to the Canadian banks that was much heralded in the press.
They're the Lazard of Canada.
They've done very well. They had a slow start, but have done a ton of m&a over the last year.
I'm assuming they are coming for analyst roles at your school... i interviewed with them, they pay well, work you like a dog, get good deal flow for a boutique, i guess lazard of canada is pretty right. the ppl there are on a high horse at times and can be huge dicks, but in reality i think most of the industry can too. gl with them
i just realized that we got 3 replies to a post that came out 1 yr ago...dont know how it got refreshed
alex, i noticed you went to SSB, what was your gpa there to get an interview with Genuity? And how was their interview...mostly technical or behavioural?
GPA is on a messed up scale, its on a 9 scale so its kind of hard to explain. on a 4 scale i had 3.4 cum and 3.7 in finance, econ, stats and actg... they grilled me on any grade that was below A. I didn't get 2nd round but to be honest they said to me we aren't really hiring if you or anyone else impresses the shit out of us we will consider you (this was the principal at the firm). The interview was around 40 min, standard beh q's and then some simple tech. I think it just came down to my grades not being high enough for them.
sorry double post... in case you know about the school its 7.2 cumulative and 7.8 for the other... but i have decent experience and some solid extra curric
How many ppl do they take each year?
