Credit Suisse is a Swiss company incorporated in Switzerland, so their technical HQ is in Zurich, but the actual HQ (in terms of day-to-day functioning) is at 11 Madison.

The CEO, Brad Dougan, is based at 11 Madison, as are most of their business group heads.

Zurich isn't even the HQ of their European operations. London is the main base for Europe.

I have been inside 11 Madison a number of times, and IMO it's fantastic. Really, really nice building.
