Based on insights from WSO threads, CIBC in Calgary has a decent culture but leans towards the harder-working side. The team has a significant female presence and operates two groups in Calgary: Oil & Gas (O&G) and Power & Utilities (P&U), with the latter being jointly run out of Calgary and Toronto. If you're interested in power-related deals, this could be a good fit.

For the analyst process, while specific details about the ongoing recruitment aren't mentioned, it's worth noting that CIBC analysts are expected to handle a demanding workload, reflecting the firm's emphasis on hard work. If you're currently in the process, be prepared for a rigorous environment but one that offers exposure to solid deal flow.
