Pros
Some great people to work with, and being backed by Macquarie Bank means you can add a globally recognised name to your resume.
Cons
Pay is about average. During annual reviews, it can feel like the focus is on finding reasons to limit bonuses or salary increases, often highlighting one negative out of many positives. At times, you may end up taking on responsibilities outside your role, but these efforts aren’t always reflected when reviews are based strictly on KPIs. The HR experience can feel inconsistent, with a perception of favouritism and a stronger focus on protecting the business than genuinely advocating for employees. When I left, there was no exit interview or request for feedback, which felt like a missed opportunity for the company to learn and improve.
