Prestige of Mackenzie Investments in U.S/Canada

Just wondering what people on Wallstreet and Bay Street think of Mackenzie Investments? I don't see much talk about them on the forums but they are the 7th largest AM in Canada according to TD's last money manager report.

For myself, I completed an internship with them last year in investment management and am trying to leverage that into something in the U.S on the buyside, wondering if they have any credentials outside of Canada?
