Comp is way down. Morale is not good.
Employee - Vice President
It has the potential to be a great place to work at. Talented staff but no solid direction.
Employee - Vice President
Morale is bad. Good people but poor leadership. Direction of the Firm changes along with the strategy.
Employee - Vice President
It is very open and the people are very bright. They do not always listen well. Need to improve regulatory compliance.
Employee - Group Managing Director and/or Partner
Needs a new strategy
Employee - Vice President
There is a complete lack of direction which is being addressed now by the new head. previously i found that the MD's were pretty much treating the firm as their own personal piggy bank, taking questionable positions and exposures to generate fees. there was a lack of transparency, so much so that mgmt could not see what the complete exposure single traders had across multiple products due to lack of communication between various trading platforms. now the new head is trying to get away from investment banking to focus on asset management. he should split them apart, as well as keeping the retail side of CS separate since the risk profiles of all 3 are so different.

its an investment bank, and like any IB, it plays a game of musical chairs with assets and whoever misses out on sitting in a chair when the music starts gets stuck with holding a bag of shit. they say that IB's are an efficient way of channeling capital from those that have it to those that need it, but if it was truly efficient there wouldnt be so much money left on the table that goes into Banker's pockets. its a hustle across the industry.
Employee - Vice President
Just like any other IB, people are afraid to speak out from fear of losing their jobs. although a swiss bank, the IB is pretty much run out of london with lots of expats from there coming to the usa but very minimal expats from the usa going to the uk.
Employee - Senior Vice President
There's so much management turmoil it's hard to know what to change or how to attempt it.
Employee - Senior Vice President
Take the best they have to offer but be prepared not to last.
Employee - Senior Vice President
Management turnover, management too invasive, impossible to define the firm's culture.
Employee - Vice President
Continual restructuring/department realignment/reorganization across much of the bank creates short- and long-term career uncertainty too high. The tone from the top seems to be shifting frequently in response to the short-term market environment instead of long-term firm growth.
Employee - Vice President
Professional growth opportunities are there for everyone who will seize them and demonstrate competence, but until its top level of senior management stabilizes and can stick to a comprehensive vision for the firm, long-term job retention or promotion within the firm is somewhat shaky.
Employee - Vice President
People tried hard to make the best of an inconsistent corporate culture. Employees typically interacted well with each other. Regulatory compliance was appropriately weighted and respected. Senior management frequently seemed to be less focused on employee retention than on maintaining their own job security.
Employee - Vice President
Credit Suisse should stop micro managing by incompetent bosses
Employee - Vice President
All bark no bite
Employee - Vice President
Incompetent direct boss who made excuses for everything blamed his team he was never at fault
Employee - Vice President
The work is very repetitive which wastes time.
Employee - Senior Vice President
very entrepreneurial, you decide on your career
Employee - Senior Vice President
As the whole industry is going through massive changes, the organization is constantly in 're-org mode' - one would wish to work in a more stable environment, but those days are long gone.
