Just... No... Don't.. Go home. You're drunk.
Seriously, why the fuck are you asking that. I don't know why the fuck you want to work at CS. No one else here knows why the fuck you want to work at CS. Why the fuck do you want to work at CS? Answer that shit yourself. Fucking ingrate.
Because you can learn from Swiss banks about how to hide all kinds of money and UBS won't hire you.
You're welcome.
Lmao I love this site!!!
I don't want to work for Credit Suisse.
CS Opinion (Originally Posted: 03/30/2010)
Hi,
I am new to the site and I was hoping someone could direct me to a thread that discusses the pros and cons of Credit Suisse (irrespective of group) from the perspective of a new IB analyst in terms of cuture, reputation, and exit opportunities. Alternatively, if such a thread does not already exist, I would really appreciate any insight you may have.
Thanks again.
Mod Edit: As mentioned below, please search
The search feature will yield good results. Try typing in "Credit Suisse Culture" or "CS culture" and you will find lots of discussion. CS's culture is discussed a bit in this thread:

Good luck.
Thoughts on Credit Suisse? (Originally Posted: 10/16/2009)
I recall about a year and a half ago people were ragging on CS, but now that they've weathered the financial crisis better than firms like Citi, people seem to have significantly more respect for them.
I've always felt that they had a great culture and it was a great place to work, but perhaps I'm mistaken.
What are your thoughts on CS IBD nowadays, are they up and coming?
Any firm that didn't take US Tarp has and will continue to benefit.
Way better shape than their main rivalry.
Depends on where u're talking about, Im not too sure about US, but they're fairly active in Hong Kong, Asia
Top place to work. Definitely the best European BB and in the same conversation as GS and MS.
No one knows where ths industry is headed but CS will be VERY well positioned because of no government money and their ability to limit toxic exposure.
Pretty boss as of late, but in the US it's a notch below GS/JPM/MS and ahead of UBS/DB/Citi. Anyone disagree?
TR Q3 does. http://online.thomsonreuters.com/DealsIntelligence/Content/Files/3Q09%2…
Frankly, OP, if they give you an offer (and I assume they have, otherwise you wouldn't be on here) and you like the firm then you should take it. That's not just for CS, but for all firms. There is no need to come on here and seek praise/justifications for you to join them.
Just my 2c.
Take DB out of the UBS/Citi bracket... JPM/MS/GS... CS/DB... UBS/C/BAML
agree with above^
on par with barclay's?
Credit Suisse Culture/Fit Type for S&T? (Originally Posted: 09/08/2009)
What type of person works as a Credit Suisse FT analyst out of undergrad? Any insights into the culture of the firm?
any fool who was dinged from GS or JPM
PM me if you want to talk about it.
Credit Suisse - Hit me with the info! (Originally Posted: 11/15/2007)
So I know that Credit-Suisse has the best training program in class, they were created in 1856 and yadi yadi yada. I love the people I talked to at Credit Suisse (I am applying to equity sales in London); but now I want to get some information that I won't find online, so if you got any: hit me with it!
Oh and if you have some sample questions that they have asked you, that would be really helpful. My buddy just went through the first round and told me they ask you a lot about the current market situation. (Remember guys, I am applying to Sales, not M&A)
