CIBC in US? Culture, Comps, Exits Ops, etc.

Does anyone have insights into CIBC IB in the US (Chicago, NYC, etc)? Is it on the same level as Nomura/Mizuho/RBC prestige-wise? What about culture + comps? 

All insights much appreciated!

From what i understand, the Chicago office doesn’t have an IB group and if they do, its very small. They had an opening in that office that i recruited for, however, moments before the call, i was told that recruiting would be put on hold until the office was more established (this was for SA). I followed up months after months but was never given any clear answer to the group’s trajectory in CHI. Odd situation.
