they value external hires rather than their own staff

Senior Analyst (Former Employee) - Singapore - September 23, 2019

Culture is the worst out of my employment history. You can join CS for the brand name but advise to find another job after a year as the yearly increment/bonus is very little/non existent. Don't waste your time slogging in CS as it is not rewarding.

Credit Suisse is an equal opportunity employer, they believe in diversity in every way and mostly live by their code of conduct and ethics. Work life balance is good and management persevere to keep the moral up.

Great company with sound culture and fantastic team players

Regional New Business and Change Lead -Risk and (Former Employee) - Singapore - July 11, 2019

Enjoyed my work here. Learnt a lot and made good relationships with professional colleagues. Good systems, processes and global reach.

Competitive work environment. Pays well.

Vice President / Team Leader (Former Employee) - CBD - November 22, 2018

My experience there is not typical. So I do not think it is fair to comment. Applicants should give weight to more recent reviews, if any are available.

Cons

Not so big bank, so limited opportunities

Wonderful training opportunities

DERIVATIVES DOCUMENT ANALYST (Former Employee) - Raffles Place - August 11, 2018

The thing I love the most is their wonderful training opportunities. 50% of management are open and approachable. They have a "buddy system" for learning on the job. It is a problem when the department has office "group clicks" . When individuals get alienated this can counter office productivity. They have a steep learning curve if you just started in the industry.

Pros

Wonderful training opportunities

Cons

Steep learning curve for newbies

Thumbs Down

Vice President (Current Employee) - Singapore - December 27, 2017

Overly rigid, overly hierarchical, old fashioned bank. There are no visionaries here, just politicians. This is not a place for those who seek professional development. A poorly managed institution who cloaks this by describing itself as "an entrepreneurial" organisation. If you are a blue-eyed Swiss you will be taken care of (politically as well as job security wise). Expect no direction from Management (MDs and Directors), as they are out to protect themselves and nothing more. The culture (as such exists) is basically a "free-for-all" where you sink or swim on your own. The pay is good and colleagues (VP and below) are great. A good place to park for a couple of years, collect a good salary and then move on.

Pros

Good brand on your CV, good salary, great colleagues

Cons

Poor management, way too much politics, "The Swiss Way"

summer internship

Intern (Former Employee) - Singapore - November 20, 2017

I only worked there for a month so I do not have a great understanding of the company. As an intern I took care of tasks such as quality assurance and I could apply it in my later career.
