Great place to work, if you're mean spirited and Australian.. - Anonymous employee Macquarie Group Employee Review

Pros

A lot of engaging, bright, hard working and well meaning employees, willing to work long hours to map to the Australian working day.

Cons

Very clique-ish. The US subsidiaries are tightly controlled by Australian HQ, by senior execs who have little or no overseas experience. Cursory judgments are made about US staff members by HQ on the skills, potential and performance of the US, and hey presto, your bonus, or your reputation can go up in smoke. Even senior US execs will cower away from standing up for their staff if "Sydney" decides to oust someone. They raise passive aggression to an art form. They think diversity is only about gender, great place if you are a white male or female, anything outside of that proceed with caution - diligence the team you are joining. The place has some great people, so find out all you can about management before you make a decision.

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.
