CIBC M&A Toronto

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)
