Macquarie Group Benefits

Solid benefits with 401k match and a decent healthcare package.

Four to five weeks vacation is standard. Retirement benefits are limited to 401k plan. Health insurance is expensive and has recently been downgraded.

Worst benefits package ever. It's so pathetic, they have to lie to you about how they will make up for it in pay. You will get locked in forever on your 401k and educational expenses. Incompetent HR starts harassing you if you question how bad the benefits package is, due to their insecurity.

401k benefits, time off, healthcare just ok- getting worse ever year, dental ok, vision ok, hr department just ok ok

benefits are standard for most banks - health insurance costs were increasing

Best was ability to take time off

There are very strict personal investment policies in place that require pre-approval for all personal stock trades - regardless of business unit, team, role or region! Sites like Compliance Elf exist so that this should not be an issue. It is an investment bank full of employees interested in personal investing, but who are doing so in a crippling fashion. The business can trade freely, and is very successful doing it - but they don't allow their employees to do the same. More concerning may be the fact that you must also get pre-approval for making donations to a political candidate or party, which is ridiculous as all of that information is easily reportable in the United States. I know why they do it, but it is overreaching on a non-issue. Who I vote for is none of their business. Outside of those two instances, all other benefits and perks are good to great.

Quite happy with the health benefits and perks offered for employees

Pantry stocked with fruits, dry nuts, cereals, milk, bread, juices, which is not as fancy as tech companies but much better than most banks. The New York office is building an on-site cafe (not subsidized though) which would make it convenient for staff. Health insurance premiums get higher and worse every year. 401k match is just ok and you have to stay employed through Dec 31 to get the whole year matching. 4 week vacations. Technology is improving making remote working easier now but on the other side it means you always need to respond to work even after business hours. Front office staff and certain back office staff are equipped with work iphone.

Standard annual leave. Not great. Pricey health insurance for very limited coverage.
