Nice people, lack of deals

Summer inten

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very nice people to work with. They are all very smart and accomplished people and love their finance. However, it's not to the extent of arrogance as they are all laid back as well. Nice culture.

Cons

During the period I was there, there weren't many deals that went on, so a lot of the time was spent pitching, rather than live deals.

Long hours & little package

Research associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Given that Macquarie is a relatively new comer, it's quicker and more flexible for juniors to be promoted to senior level.

Cons

Little package vs. its larger peers with late bonus payment in May~Jun, which makes employees very difficult to find available positions at other houses. Long working hours & high turnover.

Mac Bank is fun!

Business Outlook

Pros

IT at McBank was a fun place to be - relaxed and using best practices, newish technologies etc. The team i was with with all intelligent, fun people, and the hours were standard. I'd recommend a job here if you can get it! Geeze, as an employee you can even get free parking on the weekend in the city here! Good parties, good attitude, good technologies... was anything wrong?

Cons

Yep. Some of the senior managers were a bit iffy, and weren't up to speed on latest technologies, or even older technologies. This isn't a great look when you're managing it teams. Only new-ish technologies. Banks are always late in jumping on these things because, well, they're a bank, new technologies aren't part of their business model. If you're in IT and really like IT, maybe Mac isn't the place to be- but if you're in IT and half like technology? Gogogogogooo!
