Egos, poor talent management, too many layers of useless middlemen.

– November 22, 2012

Inv Banks are known for bureacuracy and lack of transparency and CS does not separate itself in a good way here- lots of people involved in decision making results in stagnation, group-think and rarely making any innovative (risky) or creative choices.

Large Company with opportunities (if you can find them)
Global Technical Standards Program Mgmt. (Current Employee), New York, NY – August 30, 2012
Pros: work / life balance is great
Cons: opportunities to advance pretty opaque
Pretty good work environment but mostly an individual contributor. Must be able to be a self starter (which I like). Vastly different cultures depending on where you are. Not a great amount of knowledge sharing (typical in a large investment bank). In order to advance, you need to know the right people and ask at the right time. Large and slow (but – more... steady). – less

Very busy but a decent place to work
Global Support Specialist (Former Employee), Research Triangle Park, NC – August 29, 2012
I was working as contractor for Credit Suisse. The atmosphere was very busy and hectic most days. Call volume was very high and work/life balance was not great because of around the clock shifts. Management could have been more effective. All my co-workers were very friendly. The company very supportive of diversity and culture.

Professional Recruitier; Experienced Floor Coordinator
Recruiter - Human Resources (Former Employee), New York City – August 22, 2012
Pros: great benefits and salary; room for advancement for professional staff

I enjoyed my years at Credit Suisse, particularly my years as a Floor Coordinator. This role gave me my first opportunity to surpervise a large number of staff, a responsibility I enjoyed. Investment banking is a fascinating industry, and I was very fortunate to work with some brilliant minds.

Productive and team work
Project Coordinator/Application Support Analyst (Former Employee), Princeton, NJ – August 19, 2012
Pros: team work, healthcare
Cons: job security, advancement
As an Analyst, I worked with developers in the UAT and Production environments. I learned to understand what the business were and how to meet those needs. My co-workers were a pleasure to work for. We always worked as a team. The hardest part of the job was
seeing co-workers being outsourced. The most enjoyable part of the job was working on projects – more... and training users on various software. – less

Credit Suisse Review
Senior Analyst (Current Employee), New York, NY – August 6, 2012
Pros: lunch time
Cons: work/life balance
No work life balance, not what firm believes in. I think it was managment who put their own policies in place.

Learned a lot about electronic trading business

Co-workers were on the front office were great, but in group not so much.

hardest part of job was not being able to have work/life balance

Enjoyable part of job was the firm events that make – more... a difference in peoples lives – less

No care or compassion for employees
Anonymous (Current Employee), Research Triangle Park, NC – July 30, 2012
While there are some great people to work with at the RTP office, the management (in NY) has no care and compassion for the employees. There is also no long term strategy for the RTP office, which creates concern for career stability.
