Avoid BMO unless you have literally no other options. Terrible culture, terrible exits. Lots of pitching and losing.
Seconding this, BMO was a terrible experience. But it was pretty easy to get a return offer and lateral out in my experience to a much better bank where the culture is better and we actually do deals. Every analyst on my team was able to get BB/EB offers so if BMO is your only option, take it. They love their core schools and never open up recruiting so if you're not at a core, hopefully you've been networking. Can PM if you want more info.

Say you're in a shitty group at BMO without saying it.
Comment a link to a LinkedIn profile of someone from BMO with a great exit
Culture is extremely group dependent at BMO, and think it’s really improved across the board the past year or so.
Chicago Diversity hiring has already given out offers. Not sure how the boilerplate SA 2023 looks.
Avoid unless BMO Metals & Mining
How do I even apply to BMO? It doesn't seem like they post openings on their website. I'm at a target school but not one of BMO's core schools so don't think they post on my school's handshake/career portal. Interested in BMO metals & mining.
Metals and mining is only in Canada and they only recruit from their core schools (that are random m, not your typical targets)
