CIBC reviews

Office culture is sad and feels like people are zombies doing a job they don't enjoy at all. Everything is very routine and not much excitement.

If you're a top performer, especially a people leader, expect to get away with murder. CIBC, like any company, loves people who are high performers. But they love them at the expense of others. I've worked with and under people who lie, cheat and steal, and the company says nothing because they meet or exceed their sales targets. Those of us who do well or just a little bit under are treated poorly, bullied and made to feel like less valued employees. I struggled as a people leader under my manager because the individual sabotaged my role at every turn with the staff - and rated me poorly as I attempted to turn around a compliance poor branch. Escalations to senior management was met with disagreement with my complaint, and I was told to suck it up, and find a different job. I took a demotion to get away from the toxic environment. After nearly 15 years of dedicated service I quit for a better company.
