Credit Suisse Reviews in Singapore

Pros

The work atmosphere is quite friendly and enjoyable. The management often gives me different opportunities and challenges which makes the experience even more exciting.

Cons

The salary level may not be the best out in the market but it's still better over most of it's competitors.

Advice to Senior Management

Offer more training opportunities to the employees. This will maintain a more interesting work environment and at the same time provide a haven for personal development.

Pros

Friendly colleagues, supportative working environment, good learning opportunities, vast valuable resources, various development opportunities which can be seized by juniors

Cons

severe cost cutting, deployment of work to India, ambiguous management messages and promotion communications, limited promotion platforms during tough market conditions

Advice to Senior Management

Clearer and more prompt communication to employees, thorough consideration for important business and operational decisions which include factors more than cost

Pros

good opportunity and flexible hours

Cons

slow promotion process and not so good networking

Pros

- People, people, and people
- Managers who recognise work
- Excellent culture and management emphasis on collaboration

Cons

- top heavy management teams with limited growth opportunities beyond a certain level
- doesnt pay at market levels (they rather pay more for a new employee than increase comp of existing high performers)
- tends to be bureucratic sometimes

Advice to Senior Management

- Great place to work
- HR processes and benefits suck (really!). how can you have an HR team that is ok for managers to pay more for new employees than increase compensation for high-performing employees in the same role? How can maternity benefits be optional?

Pros

The people are great and extremely competent. The senior management is always keen to new ideas and appreciate bold employees who may question status quo (within reason of course).

Cons

The working hours can be long within Product Control. A higher compensation would be fitting.

From employees working out of Singapore, the impending move to Changi is a major disadvantage in terms of inconvenience in commuting,

Advice to Senior Management

An improved employee welfare package.

Its good to spoil your employees once in a while for their hardwork and toil. But regardless of that, I would get back to working with Credit Suisse any day. Great people, great environment to learn!

Pros

Work Life balance is awesome at Credit Suisse.

Cons

Median base salary is offered at Credit Suisse.

Cons

Advice to Senior Management

None

Pros

It offers really good salary.The work culture is great and you get a lot of networking opportunities, and interact with really high profile people.

Cons

The work hours are really long and tiring. The work can be very hectic at times and you have to meet a lot of tough deadlines while maintaining your cool.

Advice to Senior Management

They should try to reduce the work hours and offer more relaxation and retreat activities to get the staff to bond well and feel like a big family.

Pros

Recently started focusing more on Employees and their training needs.

Cons

Salary is not up market pay

Pros

Get a reputable bank in the resume as a platform for better things later on. Rather stable and retrenchment is kept to a minimal.

Cons

The promotion progress for IT can be very slow, so it may not be suitable for high performers who expect more. It is a conservative bank.

Advice to Senior Management

Faster promotions and better bonuses will be required to retain good staff. There must be a way to provide training that those who ask for it without too much of an obstacle. Training budget is always a surplus at the end of the year.
