Pros

One of BMO's core values is diversity, and I believe HR really tries to hire in women and diverse talent. However, once inside, you are left to management that are not as interested. My manager fired 75% of the women (no men were fired) week before bonus allocation in order to give out larger bonuses to the other guys. Only my 3 female directs were constantly getting criticized by my manager. Is it just an incident that all the females in my ecosystem were truly failing or did the manager just hate women?

Cons

I experienced other male peers who were working there for years verbally abuse other peers but not get fired. He and my manager have been at BMO for over 20 years and they all cover each other.

Pros

Big corporation with good benefits.

Cons

Managers make too much on our backs. Managers get to have lot more flexibility and fun on corporate card. Growth is very stagnant. Some managers treat you like factory workers and won’t let you leave at 4:45ish
