Pros

Snacks, sodas, off-shore folks. Good salary to make up for the crappy work environment - it's all about kissing butt and parrotting the company line - but no real belief in it.

Cons

Everything you could think off. People go through the motions, but no one cares. Something is broken, but it is not fixed as long as people follow the company line. Mostly incompetent folks in upper management and the real workers get beat down. No opportunities for foreigners to make it past AD, save a few exceptions. Lip-service to diversity, advancement. Local leads completely beholden to Australian decisions; no local autonomy.

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.
