      Disapproves of CEO

      I have been working at Macquarie Group full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Great exposure to bleeding edge technology - lots happening in IT

      Cons

      Too much focus on ‘innovation’ dreamers and talkers values over actual execution capability or sustainability. Poor leadership - e.g. cio is a puppet pushed around by a Long existing power group within IT. Extremely poor and only one way communication by leadership. Not an inclusive workplace at mid - higher management

      Advice to Management

      Communicate better
      Treat people like assets
      Dissolve your power centres which are now archaic and holding sustainability back

      I have been working at Macquarie Group full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      - Relaxed culture, people all very friendly
      - Great work-life balance (most days finishing at 5-5.30, busy period no later than 6.30)
      - Perks i.e. free food, fun runs, massages
      - Good salary
      - Very flat structure, managers all come up and talk to you, very friendly

      Cons

      - Repetitive work, not really mentally stimulating i.e. you arrive at 8.30 and sit down at your computer pretty much all day except lunch
      - Not much room for growth (guess this depends on your attitude)
      - Work is very much work i.e. people are friendly but (again depends on your office and team) do not extend friendship beyond work

      Advice to Management

      None
