Pros

Nothing - they lie through their teeth to get you to join with empty promises. Don't believe this company and the people who work here. Pretty impressive how this bank makes headlines for all the wrong reasons - so much truth to the fact that the culture is abusive.

Cons

No work life balance The worst compensation I received Abusive managers, horrible HR/recruiting staff (acting supreme and entitled despite Macquarie not even being a top tier US bank) Lies, lies and more lies - only regret was staying here longer than I should have. A naive (and easily duped) colleague convinced me to but I ended up learning the hard way - never again.

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.
