Pros

Different initiatives for work and a lot of learning in different areas. Handling of different clients as well as mingling with different cultures and personalities!

Cons

Upper Management pressure or partner pressure to attend private social events "house parties" partner events and all. Sexist environment, dominated by a misogynist culture. Very political environment, favouritism based on likeability environment. Especailly as feamale it leaves a bad taste overall.

Thank-you for your feedback. Mackenzie in no way condones this type of behavior and we take our Respect in the Workplace policy very seriously. Every employee at Mackenzie has the right to be treated with dignity and respect at all times and if that is not happening then we need to know about it so that the necessary steps to investigate the situation can be taken. We would strongly encourage you to speak to your HR Consultant so we can address your concerns immediately.

Pros

You're surrounded by very intelligent people who know their stuff. They value amition and intelligence. They feed you a lot, which is nice.

Cons

Came into a new role and was expected to jump into work with little to no training and build expertise on things even my seniors did not know. Other employees were rude, dismissive and outright nasty to questions. Did not get to work with anyone closely and with long time staffers staying in their lane no one reached out to give direction for a new role. Expectations for my role were unclear and never communicated outright. I did ask what a typical 9-5 would look like during the interview process and never got a straight answer, which was a mistake on my part, but the onus is on the employer to give new hires direction and ensure they are fulfilling a role. A lot of training was "judgement calls'' but when new hires start they will not know the judgements they should be looking out for. Avoid!
