Credit Suisse Shared Services Finance 2012 Graduate Intake - First Round Interview
Posted 3 November 2011 - 11:55am by jim1109
Hello to all,
It was very short notice and relatively unexpected on Monday when I received a phone call from a member of the Credit Suisse Graduate Recruitment Team inviting me to attend an interview on Friday (now tomorrow!)
I have searched the internet for any sort of guidance as to what I should expect the process to be like when I arrive. Has anyone had an interview with Credit Suisse yet (particularly those applying to Finance)?
What sort of questions were asked?
Credit Suisse

3 Open Days usually held in October, including one exclusively for Women in IT.

- Overview and role of IT at Credit Suisse.
- A 'Speed Networking' session where you can chat informally to employees from across IT who have either been on internships, through the grad recruitment process themselves, or who have been there for a number of years.

Credit Suisse - Romy
Romy
Role: Information Technology
University Attended: University of Leipzig
Degree: Master’s in Social Sciences and Sociology
What do you do?
I work within IT, in an IT functional area called Technology Infrastructure Services (TIS). I work as a Business Manager for the Regional Deploy and Operate department. Our department deploys, maintains and supports the bank’s information technology infrastructure within Switzerland.
My role as Business Manager includes both strategic and operational tasks. To run a business of this nature, a number of processes need to be in place: investments and hiring have to be coordinated; projects need project managers and funding; plans have to be drawn up and overall performance managed. In all these processes, the Business Management team facilitates and provides leadership.
I am specifically responsible for the organisation's performance management, including objective setting, monthly business reviews and business continuity planning. My clients are mostly internal, and I work with different line managers within TIS as well as people from other areas of the bank.
How did you get started in your career and what drew you to Credit Suisse?
I started my career as a Key Account Manager for an IT consultancy based in London. This was my entry into the IT sector. My role was to identify business critical needs in specific IT market sectors, to acquire new clients and to expand relationships with strategic clients.
When I moved to Switzerland via this consultancy, I focused on the financial market, and this is how I learned about Credit Suisse. I soon joined Credit Suisse as an IT Recruiting Manager. Later on, I transferred into Credit Suisse's IT division, and for the past four years, have been working within the global IT Infrastructure of the bank.
TIS is real global organization, and supports the bank’s business, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, all around the world. My colleagues are based in the Americas, Switzerland, Europe and Asia Pacific. I have worked and built many relationships with people from other continents.
Please describe a typical work day.
Every day brings something new - a new challenge or a new idea to come up with. I could be working on performance management concepts, or planning activities and content for the next upcoming management offsite. I am constantly looking ways to deliver process improvements and standardization to help our organization become more efficient. I also have many meetings with internal clients to align them with different topics and I keep track of deliverables to certain deadlines.
Why should people choose Credit Suisse? How would you describe our culture?
Credit Suisse offers a variety of job opportunities and so many platforms to help you develop, both personally and professionally. Our culture is innovative, results-oriented, open-minded, dynamic and international. Every day brings new experiences and challenges, a new solution to create, or an idea to develop further. It’s a dynamic global environment, and we work together to ensure positive results.
Credit Suisse Private Fund Group Analyst Position 2011
Posted 18 June 2011 - 12:21am by mbzh84
Hi there
I interviewed for the CS Private Fund Group Analyst Position at the end of January and I was told that I was successful in getting through to the last round. However, every month or so since then, I've been told that last-round interviews with Senior Management have been postponed because they have been unable to find a sufficient number of candidates. For the last two months, I have not heard from them. I have emailed them to find out the current status, but I was wondering if anyone else was in the same situation as me? Perhaps even in other divisions?
