Pros
- Brand name recognition. - Generally flexible work arrangements and work from home, depending on manager and team.
Cons
- Integration Exploitation: There is a heavy reliance on legacy Credit Suisse staff to drive critical integration efforts. We are pushed to work hard to migrate systems and close gaps, but when it comes to compensation, the effort is forgotten. - Zero Reward for Critical Work: Despite the intense workload required for the merger, salary increments and bonuses are zero or negligible. Upper management only pays lip service to how we are doing great work with the integration, when the financial upside is kept for a select few while the actual workers get nothing. - Forced Bell Curve: The appraisal system is used to suppress ratings regardless of actual delivery. You can successfully deliver complex tasks and still be rated poorly to fit a quota.
