TD, CIBC vs BMO? Credit Suisse, Barcap or Goldman?

Hey,

I currently have interviews for TD Securities, BMO Capital Markets, CIBC World Markets as well as BarCap, Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs in Investment Banking for the position of a Summer Analyst.

Can anyone tell me the differences between these banks? Or at least how to go about answering the question 'Why do you want to work at this bank?' and providing relevant facts.

Recently I was asked in an interview the above question...and I rambled on about culture and investing in employees, etc. The Associate then said, everyone has a strong culture and good training, etc...but why this bank in particular? I was stumped.

Any help would be most appreciated!

Thanks!
