I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Macquarie Group (Sydney) in Apr 2025
Interview
The phone interview lasted all of about 10 minutes, asking very basic questions (which they already knew from the application) asking why Macquarie, relevant experience, what you like to do outside of work etc.
One interviewer was rude and condescending, claiming that I copied my answers online. i guess it is considered a compliment but i was just shocked at how this interviewer was unable to accept my answer
Was also told it was a graduate program but turns out the program means having to be an intern and then a trainee
The video interview is quite simple and direct. There are four questions in total: tell us about yourself, why choose Macquarie graduate program, a behaviour question, and a technical related question.
