Credit Suisse
What does anybody know about Credit Suisse's general reputation for banking? In particular, I am interested in the financial sponsors group/lev fin. Thanks.

It is totally horrible.
It is totally horrible. Worst bank in the history of the world. All their models automatically #REF every 30 minutes, their HR chicks are ugly, their analysts usually exit to commercial banking and seamless web purposely ignores their orders because even the delivery guys are too ashamed to be seen in the vicinity of Madison square park in case they are mistaken for a forlorn Credit Suisse DCM VP out for a stroll.
Speaking of HR chicks, which
Speaking of HR chicks, which bank has the cutest ones? I'm juggling between a few offers right now, and I think the cuteness level of the HR chicks will make/break my decision. Right now, I'm trying to decide between Wachovia and Bear... Wachovia had three skinny and pretty girls during my superday (+3 points each), and only one fat one (-5 points). Bear had two HR chicks, and they were slightly-above average looking (+2 points each).
As you can see, each of these banks ends up with 4 points, so I don't really know how to decide...
Also, can someone please give me the breakdown and rank the following firms in terms of cuteness of HR chicks?
GS
MS
LEH
JPM
ML
Citi
LAZ
BofA
Thanks!

ideating, why do you hate CS so much? CS is pretty strong, I went to their offices a few days ago. Great offices and a great financial sponsors group.

CS is a good bank, and at
CS is a good bank, and at this level in banking it's not whether the bank is better than an other, it's whether you like the team you will be working with or not.
And I personally never was a big fan of HR girls in general, except on the phone, some of them had some realllllly hot voices.

my take on CS is that it's
my take on CS is that it's overall a very good bank. Perhaps more so than other banks, the disparity between groups can be quite large. The really awesome ones are technology, energy, sponsors, leveraged finance and M & A. The awful ones are FIG, healthcare and retail/consumer.
actually, the London office
actually, the London office is in big trouble these days. Most people don't like it. I don't think I have ever talked to a single person who has been pinched or moved who has liked their new surroundings. Obviously a big swinger, but I'm sure a better choice could be made.
They are firing 500 people
They are firing 500 people and 150 of the firing are happening in London, mainly in equity and fixed income departments. (bloomberg sources)
For the London office I have heard mixed opinions, some love it, some hate it. It all depends on the team you land in.

Their LA office is really strong and does a lot of Lev Fin, Financial Sponsors work. A lot of the guys from that office go on to top PE funds

Even Eric looks really young if you consider that he joined Sprott in 2003 from CIBC (assuming he did a year or two there, that's still 5 or 6 years past graduation) presumably making him 27 or 28.

hottest chicks are always at
hottest chicks are always at privately held firms.
recently out in SF at a private law firm, receptionist was the hottest chick - thought i saw her in a porn - i have ever seen.
made 5 trips out of the drafting session to make calls and ogle her.
generally speaking the private firms can hire the hot ones because there is less pressure/worry about sexual harassment charges.
