Credit Suisse SURVEY SAYS


“United Nations of banking”

 

The general consensus is that the atmosphere at Credit Suisse is “very collegial, team-oriented, supportive, diverse and global.”  A current employee says, “The firm is very supportive in terms of career development for their junior bankers with MBA prep and ambassador programs where Credit Suisse will pay for your MBA.”  There is “generally an open-door policy with senior bankers.”  One source speaks highly of the firm's diverse atmosphere, saying, “I like to call our firm the United Nations of banking.  We have a truly global workforce in our New York office. We have people from a wide variety of countries, and you often hear a wide variety of languages being spoken in your work area.”  The cultural diversity leads to the firm being “little less aggressive and merit-based,” a place where “many senior execs have made their career.”

Tips from the inside

Top talent only

 

Credit Suisse is “very selective in its hiring.”  An insider says that the company “looks for strong candidates with a balance between academics and participation in organizations on their campus.”  There is a list of core schools that the firm recruits from, and one source reports that it is “difficult to get an interview if your MBA program is not on the target list.”  Candidates from non-core schools can expect to go through an “exhaustive vetting process.”  Potential employees “must display sound quantitative aptitude with a good understanding of valuation techniques” in order to be considered.   Though candidates from top schools are screened very thoroughly, one employee feels that the high number of incoming employees each year thins the talent.
