Hi All,
Just wondering how the M&A groups across the street stack up? I've heard a lot of good things about CIBC M&A, along with BMO. If anyone can provide some info on exits, culture, and hours that would be awesome.
Do CIBC M&A juniors get looks from Onex, and Altas? I've seen quite a few go to BAM
Thank You

You've heard good things about BMO M&A? I've heard pretty dissimilar things and I was actively recruiting there (but ended up somewhere else). They regularly lay off associates (at least did for the few year stretch when I knew them), I don't know a single BB or EB that does that - either they don't know how to hire or they have Qatalyst level expectations but it's certainly not Qatalyst. I was also talking to CIBC M&A and used to work at another group there. I don't have anything against CIBC in general at all but the M&A group is pretty stiff from the couple guys I spoke to. Just feels like it's not very social; RBC and TD seem more friendly (I ended up at one of these but in coverage, not M&A)
I should rephrase. BMO has a solid group but the culture is generally terrible.
Got it, yes. I think for sure they are competent and get deal flow. WRT to Altas and Onex, I've seen BMO go to ONCAP but in my time, it's mostly RBC + BBs that went to Onex and Altas. This may have changed recently though.
Yes, RBC has traditionally been the strongest M&A group, but I think the tides have changed. From what I hear, CIBC has the closest relationship with Brookfield, and are 3rd in renewable assets in North America. BMO also led the Kansas City Southern deal, which is remarkable in itself.
Sorry, but what does WRT stand for?
