I worked for OPCO for two years as an IB analyst and then was laid-off in January after we bought CIBC World Markets. After the deal, lots of MD's from the CIBC side left because they felt it was not going to be a good combination of firms. Very few OPCO bankers were kept and it was a total blow to me that I got laid off. I have heard the its a better platform to do deals with but the culture is a mess as people from both sides seem to not like each other.
Why are you asking, do you have an interview there?
