In my opinion, for a Software Engineer Apollo used to be a good place to work, but not anymore.

Pros

Benefits are good and pay rate is OK. Apollo always throws a good Holiday party.

Cons

In my opinion, favoritism in advancement decisions is rampant with the unspoken endorsement of upper management. In my opinion, there is no respect for software engineers and they are treated like lower tier employees. In my opinion, Engineering has a layer of so call ‘architects’ that are the most egocentric and arrogant people I have worked with. In my opinion, the current working environment if very poor in the new office space but management refuses to acknowledge the dissatisfaction after receiving feedback from many employees. In my opinion, there is no intention of investing in real workspace improvements.
