Funniest

Probably the worst Investment Bank in Canada, every product group is ass besides M&M which is basically a sweatshop. The salary is shit, the exits are shit, horrible WLB, they haven't  been on any major deals, they're homophobic, must I say more?? BMO is looking as shitty as FT partners.

 

It’s incredibly toxic, worst culture on the street by far; fuck even Americans say to avoid the Chicago office. The bank has high turnover (hire and fire) or people are leaving because who would wanna work there. Pay does not line up to the amount of shit you have to eat to work there. Would avoid them

 

Strongly dislike 'prestige' assessments and the reality is if you get a BMO offer vs no offer, you should take it with both hands.  That said, I am forever grateful that I got an RBC interview right in the middle of BMO final rounds and managed to nail it; my good friend got the BMO position.  He got canned and then his replacement got canned as well; these were not incompetent guys.  BMO just seems to love canning people.
