Technical Behavioral
The interview process was structured and professional. It kicked off with an HR screening. Then, there were two technical interviews covering financial concepts, data analysis, and problem-solving. The final stage was a meeting with a senior manager to assess strategic thinking, communication skills, and cultural fit. All interviewers were prepared and communicated clearly. It gave a good feel for the team and what the role entails.

Behavioral Other
The interview scheduling took a whole month after I applied, which felt quite slow. Right after the first interview, I got an email for psychometric assessments. Then, there was complete silence; my follow-up emails got no response. I only found out I wasn't successful when I checked the system, with no notification at all. Seriously, is sending a rejection email that hard?

I'm a CA and Macquarie shortlisted me for an interview. A friend referred me, and this was my first job after qualifying CA. I had a face-to-face interview at Building 9B in Gurugram. First, HR sent a psychometric test link which is tough, so maybe get help from a friend good at logical reasoning/verbal ability. VPs usually conduct the interviews. Be super sure about your CV details and know everything about Macquarie. They have a complex structure, so I read their Annual Report for 2 days beforehand. Two VPs interviewed me. They told me I was selected the same day in the evening. No other rounds.
