Business Outlook

Pros

- laidback atmosphere - flat corporate structure - senior people show respect towards junior people - plenty of vacation days - compensation is above average when times are good

Long hours & little package

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Given that Macquarie is a relatively new comer, it's quicker and more flexible for juniors to be promoted to senior level.

Cons

Little package vs. its larger peers with late bonus payment in May~Jun, which makes employees very difficult to find available positions at other houses. Long working hours & high turnover.
