Great name on your resume. Good healthcare, free lunch.

Huge disconnect from management. Incredibly understaffed. Flat comp besides continuous record-breaking quarters.

Pros

I have found my experience at Apollo so far to be the most rewarding in my career. The firm’s culture is intense and fast-paced yet collaborative and collegial. As a relatively new employee, everyone has been so helpful and open to new ideas. Under Marc’s leadership, there is a clear vision for the firm and where we want to go. Despite significant growth, the firm still runs lean, allowing you to be entrepreneurial and try new things. I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention the free coffee (and cookies) and the beautiful new gym.

Cons

I think the biggest con is the misperception that people have of Apollo. It is is the most authentic place I’ve worked. Yes, we work hard and can be tireless in our pursuits, but you’re also provided the chance to work with some of the brightest minds in the industry who also happen to be really nice people. Hours can be long, as with all alternative firms, but the flexible hybrid working model (3/2) and “dress for your day” policies have made provided more of a balance.

Pros

People are very nice and appreciative of your work. There are a lot of positive changes going on. Apollo had a work life balance issue which they are working hard to fix. They are growing fast so there are growing pains that will level out once everyone is hired. I feel lucky to work here and see the changes happening especially with Diversity. This is a major focus for them

Cons

Non as of yet but I will update once I see anything worth while
