BMO Capital Markets SURVEY SAYS

No “freaking out”
The firm has a “great corporate culture” where “everyone respects everyone else.” The company boasts “great people,” and “your input actually counts for something.” Also a plus: there’s “no yelling or freaking out.” Perhaps this is because the company culture is steeped in Canadian politeness. The BMO culture “is very collegial and reflective of our Canadian roots,” sources say. There’s a “strong emphasis on teamwork,” but a contact points out that “individuals who excel are able to quickly take on more.” Senior bankers are “smart and busy, but very approachable”—”everyone knows each other by name.” An “open-door policy” helps managers “delegate more and more responsibility.” There is also “direct access to and work directly with directors and managing directors as a first-year analyst,” reports one insider. “Superiors actually care what you think and take an interest in your develop and career track.”
