Credit Suisse Employer Reviews

I have learned a great deal about the banking and investment industry. Great experience for an accounting or finance major. Training has been excpeptional and management truly treats you as a partner.

Great company to work for. Co workers are enjoyable and helpful. Management listens and looks for ways to improve yourself and career. Hardest part would be advancement.

Management does not really care for their employees. Very difficult to get a a promotion or even a change in job function.

Working for CSFB was a dream job. I would be the first into the office and the last to leave. The company took great care its' employees, providing us with a state of the art gym, gourmet cafeteria which provided heathy choices and car service for those like me who worked late. The overall environment although extremely professional and fast paced was – more... very comfortable. Everyone of the 100+ staff members on my floor got along very well and assisted one another whenever possible. I learned a lot working there. I was very sad as were many of my co-workers to see our department slowly downsized to extinction after we successfully updated the Banks' systems for Y2K. My hope is to one day find a similar experience with a company. One where I can contibute to its' growth and success. – less

Good company to start a career. I have been associated with this company for past 2 years. I have thoroughly enjoyed my presence here.

My experience with Credit Suisse in the Credit Analytics Department was very positive. The employees were world class financial professionals and life was actually enjoyable. The one downside to the company is a massive cost-cutting measure that will invariable lead to future job insecurity and more employment cutbacks.

The quality of life was horrible. I worked 6 days a week, every holiday and was on call 24/7. It was clear Mgmnt could care less about their employees.

Excellent company with good work culture. Worked with very talented group of people who is excited to come to work everyday.

Like most banks, Credit Suisse was hit hard during the financial crisis and has attempted to weather the storm without completely recovering. Every year, compensation decreases along with headcount reductions, causing employees to do the work of multiple people. Employees are expected to work long hours, but any overtime worked factors into the calculation – more... of year-end bonuses as "total compensation" (the result being that more overtime means less bonus). Management has no idea what they're doing and they continue to stifle their employees with no advancement, increasing workload and no compensation. It's just a matter of time before this IB bites the dust. – less

great place with impressive prime services track record over the past years

Had a more junior role trading fixed income derivatives in the vanilla space.

I learned that if you work hard it will be appreciated and recognized.

Research at Credit Suisse offers great experience, but long hours. there are mostly great people there. Pay is not that great relative to the hours so almost everyone does it for the name and experience. hard work at the bulge can easily be leveraged into more senior and better roles both in and outside the firm.

- most days are very busy filled with meetings, but there is enough downtime to get work done
- I learned a lot about AML, Sanctions and Anti-Corruption, how to draft policies fand training for a global bank, and how to work as part of a global team
- the management is very approachable, fair and provides thoughtful constructive feedback. All these – more... characteristics are conducive to a great learning environment.
- the co-workers are supportive and know when and how to work as part of a team
- the most difficult is working as part of a global team, and having to coordinate meetings with locations world-wide
- the most enjoyable part so far was working with the visuals vendor on the production of the e-learning module that went out to every single employee world-wide and seeing the finished product. – less

Do you want to work in a warehouse where socialization is frowned on and you feel like livestock managed by people who don't speak to you? If so, Credit Suisse is for you

Great talent and diversity of cultures. First class organization.

Answering numberous telephone calls and taking messages, also taking orders over the telephone and internal e-mail orders. Meeting clients face to face about their orders or a project that need to be completed

Professional people provided a professional working environment

The morning starts with balancing of Prime Broker customer accounts. After which I then use the MBSCC/ DTCC system, to ensure all trade are matched. Allocating of TBA's. I'm always learning something new, which is the great thing about doing allocations. My co-workers and I have been together for over 20 yrs. and we always help each other when needed. – more... Keeping our clients happy is the hardest part. Always worth making a customer happy.

The most enjyable part of the job is having co-workers that are family. – less
