Current Employee – been working at Credit Suisse part-time for more than 10 years

Pros – the best part of working at Credit Suisse is the people. my co-workers and the investment bankers are appreciative, there is a collegial environment, and i felt like a valued member of the team.

Cons – Credit Suisse suffers from poor management -- and as they continue to cull their support staff functions this will only be exacerbated.

Advice to Senior Management – my advice to upper management would be to talk to the "man on the street" -- the remaining folks below manager level who are there who are working as fast and as hard as they can. they can often problem-solve solutions better than their managers, and are a great resource to fix big picture problems that will continue to plague the financial services industry, i suspect, for a long time. it's too bad you have cut so many talented, smart people (myself among them) but i had a great, very long run at Credit Suisse, and will remember and value the experience my whole life.

Current Employee – been working at Credit Suisse full-time for more than a year

Pros – This is clearly a large company and leader in its space. The analyst program is a solid place to learn M&A and corporate finance. Colleagues will be very sharp and motivated.

Cons – Give its size, the company is Institutional bordering on bureaucratic. The M&A group for Analysts meant a see of cubicles. Moreover, my experience was 2000-01 and it's clearly a tougher time in the market now
