        Disapproves of CEO

        I worked at Macquarie Group full-time for more than 4 years

        Pros

        Very talented and professional staff, great offices and free breakfast

        Cons

        Bonuses are poor and arbitrary, promotions are a carrot to keep employees working hard for as long as possible for as little as possible.

        Advice to Management

        The promotion process is utter small town politics crap. If you want to actually retain good talent make it more transparent and actually pay market rate salaries. Or just continue being middle management heavy with contractors.

          Approves of CEO

          I worked at Macquarie Group full-time for more than 9 years

          Pros

          Driven accountability and performance-based culture, great quality of people, empowerment and fast pace of change. Healthy balance of entrepreneurship and strong risk management culture which shows in the results.

          Cons

          None. Investment and performance culture and accelerated pace of change is not for everyone so be prepared going in but if this is your style, it is an extremely rewarding place to work. Be careful of burnout.
