Macquarie Group – “Macquarie is an OK place. If you look for work-life balance, it is a good place.”

Pros

1. Work-life balance. When busy time, you normally work to 11:00pm - 12:00am. It is far better than other investment banks.
2. You get to develop your skills and meet client at the very first day.

Cons

1. It is not a first tier investment bank. So your working experience will not be highly appreciated
2. Mid management team is not capable. Thus, you could not get clear guidance.

Advice to Senior Management

Human resource management shall match the strategy of Macquarie. Macquarie relies on external hire for senior bankers but do not have a appropriate system to develop from its own.
