Pros

Good environment, lots of room for internal mobility, many supplementary wellbeing activities, nice office. Really enacted their values regarding inclusivity/diversity; managers are always keen about your interests/long term goals within the organisation.

Cons

Seemed to be a lot of internal politics. Minimal training for new comers (this is probably dependant on the team) and at times, felt like we were thrown into the deep end to learn from scratch.

Macquarie is known for its inclusive culture rooted in Australian values, strong benefits, and meaningful recognition of its people.

Macquarie also actively supports giving back by enabling employees to champion non profits for grant funding and long term partnerships that help these organizations grow.

There are few remote opportunities available.
