I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Macquarie Group (Jacksonville, FL) in Mar 2019
Interview
The process took 14 weeks. By far the longest interview to hire of any firm I've experienced, but worth waiting and maintaining communications if the role is right for you. I had five interviews and the same Psychometrics Analysis. Every interview stage seemed to go better than the last, and while there were multiple weeks between communications or notice, I stayed on top of the application and finally received an offer.

I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Macquarie Group (Sydney) in May 2025
Interview
Great experience. Recruiters were very friendly, and the AC was fun. My interviewers were very nice and kept the vibe casual. The interview was a bit more technical than other interviews, but nothing too crazy.
Asked a few different brain teasers and then proceeded to ask about my work experience. Interviewer was unfriendly and pretentious. Words words words blah blah blah for the word minimum
