BMO M&M vs RBC Energy

In light of recent events, I’m just wondering what people’s thoughts are on these groups.

Both are probably the top groups in Canada but are notorious for their bad culture and multiple horror stories.

The fact that RBC is in Calgary makes it even worse IMO but I guess it’s compensated with better exits compared to BMO?

Is it worth sticking it out? Are there any benefits to working in a group like that? Are they even compensated ($) appropriately?

If you needed to pick one of the two, which one would you go for?
