Australian cloud leader recognised for career progression, training and development, meaningful work, and culture by graduates on leading careers and education platform22 July 2025
Macquarie Cloud Services (MCS), part of Macquarie Technology Group (ASX: MAQ), has ranked number one overall in workplace for graduates on Prosple’s careers and education platform.
The ranking appears in Prosple AU Top 100 Guide, which lists Australia’s Top 100 Graduate Employers on the platform. The guide highlights the most sought-after graduate employers in Australia, helping students and recent graduates explore career options and identify leading companies. The rankings follow the methodology of combining student popularity (page views and applications) and program quality (graduate satisfaction reviews) to achieve a score for each employer.
From more than 700 employers that advertise on Prosple – including industry leaders such as Cisco, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Canva – Macquarie Cloud Services took out the top spot as Australia’s number one cybersecurity workplace for graduates and best workplace for graduates. It also stood out as number one for: career progression, training and development, meaningful work, and culture.
“This achievement is testament to the incredible experience we offer early-career talent,” said Naveen Gera, Head of Service Assurance, Macquarie Cloud Services. “We provide an unmatched career launchpad for graduates. Our investment in our people, our employment strategy, and our workforce reflect this. These rankings show that when you are a part of Macquarie Cloud Services, you are working with the best.”
The graduate program at Macquarie Cloud Services began in 2012, with five graduate hires. There has since been 282 people participate in the program – with 53 current graduates, 156 previous graduates – 73 of whom are still a part of Macquarie Technology Group.
The four-year program was launched as an opportunity for Macquarie Cloud Services to develop graduates in processes aligned with the company’s evolving needs and unique environment. In recognising the hunger of young workers to learn, grow, and avoid being stuck in a role without career progression, the company created its employee value proposition (EVP).
The EVP is focussed across five dimensions: culture, work life, organisation, opportunity, and reward. It ensures graduates receive career advancement, flexibility, support, and compensation, among many other benefits.
“Each graduate is provided with six-monthly certifications training, on the job learning, time off to study, and incremental salary increases. It’s a win-win situation for everyone. We know everyone’s path is not the same, so we tailor the various pathways and opportunities to the individual and ensure the next 10 years of their career at Macquarie Technology Group is mapped out. This takes the onus off the graduates to find a role on their own. Instead, we assess where they can be successful and combine it with the path they would like to take, to help them find a suitable role,” said Gera.
According to Gera, this program has been a key to Macquarie Technology Group’s success, especially when combined with the overall workplace culture the company actively fosters. “Graduates know that at Macquarie Cloud Services, they’ll be learning, progressing, and doing meaningful work in a field related to their studies.”
