Pros

Aesthetically appealing building to work in! Great opportunity to hot-desk and meet new people, learn their roles and ways of working in the same environment.

Cons

Overhearing other teams and people doing their roles at the same time. Would be quite difficult if your role requires some quiet time and/or space to do team work and collaborate. However plenty of versatile and functional meetings rooms that can also cater for quiet lock down time for yourself- if you can give off that impression that is!

Pros

You are safe if you are Australian or a boot licking Manager/Director. Benefits are great. Free breakfast and lunch.

Cons

Extremely toxic culture especially in the Houston office. Trade compliance systems are a complete joke. They have no way of finding out of a trader is actually committing violations because systems are so bad and lag months back. Lots of image shining to hide the true picture behind closed doors. Do not trust the percentage of Bonus/Raise they pitch you. The bonus is 1% not 10-20% Lots of internal politics, local management keeps promoting each other every year while the rest of the hard workers watch. A little bit of a cult vibe when it comes to culture. Organization loves overstepping boundaries between personal and professional life. They want you to live and breathe Macquarie 24/7/365 Promotion process made extremely complicated for everyone EXCEPT the inner clicks. Annual performance reviews involve baiting each other by asking team members to score you.
