Vault Verdict
BMO Capital Markets is looking for hardworking, intelligent, technically capable candidates. Interns with the firm are treated like full-time analysts, getting access to live deals, mentors, and networking opportunities. Full-time junior bankers work on high-quality assignments, and have access to formal and informal mentorship opportunities, as well as internal mobility opportunities. In addition, promotions paths are clearly defined.
Insiders rave about BMO’s culture, and a healthy work/balance can be achieved. However, lean deal teams, which offer great experience, can mean heavy workloads at times.

Employee Reviews
“Based on experiences from friends at independent advisory, bulge bracket, and other middle-market banks, I truly don’t think there is a bank that has a better combination of work/life balance, total compensation, and the ability to work interesting transactions than BMO.”
“The culture itself is very good. People tend to be easy to get along with and willing to take the time to show new hires the ropes. However, work/life balance is still not great, though probably better than at most other banks and that is just a part of being in IB.”
“Lean deal teams mean significantly fewer concerns than competitors around self-preservation/politics with respect to layoffs amidst a challenging market backdrop. However, busy times offer limited genuine work/life balance, as work ‘lift’ is spread across fewer shoulders than at large competitors.”
“BMO has an incredible culture that is hands-down better than any other bank on the Street.”
