Benefits and perks at IMC

In-house chef and barista

Our in-house chef cooks up a storm in the office, providing breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. The kitchen is fully loaded with a huge variety of snacks and drinks for whenever you fancy a treat, and our barista is on-hand to whip up your beverage of choice, whether you’re a latte lover or a matcha enthusiast.

On Friday nights, everyone is invited to join us in the social hub with beer and rosé on tap, alongside a selection of spirits and non-alcoholic drinks, too. Catch up with your colleagues over a drink while you have a game of pool or foosball or play video games.

Helping you personally and professionally

At IMC, we invest heavily in the learning and development of our colleagues throughout their entire career journey. This kickstarts with the Global Traineeship, which encompasses a trip to at least one of our other global offices, followed by our Employee Development Program, a unique opportunity to better understand your personal strengths and areas for development. A suite of learning and development courses are also available on our learning and development platform, which you can explore based on your skills and interests, as well as, our in-house courses such as 'Feedback in Action' and 'Trading for Non-Traders'.

We offer a generous annual leave package, plus you’ll receive an extra day of leave per year of service (up to five extra days per year). In Australia, paid parental leave for primary caregivers has been extended to 26 weeks and superannuation is also paid on unpaid parental leave for up to 26 weeks.

Plus, for those unexpected challenges life sometimes throws at us, IMC Sydney has partnered with an employee assistance provider, Telus Health, which offers confidential legal and financial advice, counselling and health coaching, and other vital services to employees.

Fun for you – and the family

We prioritise having fun inside and outside the office. Every year IMC colleagues are whisked off for a Weekend Trip to luxury destinations like Hamilton Island and the Sunshine Coast. The weekend is jam-packed with awesome activities, where you can have fun while getting to know your colleagues better!

All year round we host a range of events in the office for colleagues, from cocktail parties to drag queen bingo, as well as inviting colleagues’ families to join us for Family Days, with wholesome activities such as face painting, picnics, gingerbread house decorating, and bath bomb making.

And whatever your hobby, you’ll find a community of likeminded individuals at IMC. There are tonnes of team events, from ad hoc dinners and drinks to organised events such as City2Surf, MS Gong Ride, Bloomberg Square Mile, Footsal, and more. If you can’t find the club you’re looking for, our social club subsidy means you can set it up yourself!

Giving back to our communities

At IMC one of our core values is taking responsibility – for others as well as ourselves. We offer all colleagues paid volunteering leave as well as the opportunity to get involved with lots of team volunteering opportunities.

IMC hosts a variety of community programs, including teaching primary school children and teachers how to code, as well as hosting multiple in-house charity days. Since 2016, IMC has donated a full day’s trading to Room to Read, in support of their mission to end illiteracy across the globe, and Sydney colleagues also transform into superheroes once a year in support of Bear Cottage, which provides support, respite, and end-of-life care for children with life-limiting conditions.

Plus, for any charitable cause you support personally, IMC will dollar match up to AUD 10,000 per employee, per year.

Prioritising your health and wellbeing

IMC is a fast-paced environment where colleagues solve new challenges every day, so our team’s health and wellbeing is our top priority. Employees based in Australia can take advantage of a discount on their private healthcare, as well as a range of annual health checks, such as Flu Vaccines and skin checks.

All our APAC employees are granted an annual wellbeing allowance of AUD 1,000 (or equivalent based on your location) to spend on your personal wellbeing. Whether you’re looking to ramp up your exercise regime with a state-of-the-art fitness tracker, want to get mindful with a meditation course, or pick up a new hobby, this allowance is yours to spend on anything that supports your health and happiness.

We also offer a range of gym classes for our colleagues to get their sweat on, from Barry’s Bootcamp and HIIT training to yoga and pilates. For when you need a quiet moment, decompress in our dedicated wellness room, complete with a massage chair, diffuser, and face masks. And on the rare occasion you find yourself working past 8pm, order yourself an Uber on us.
