Pros

free lunch Very sweet co-workers coffee-walk culture helps to build relationships with others

Cons

Don't get me wrong, the product is real, the market is there, the team works hard, but the leadership has done everything to purposefully destroy the company. Their ignorance, ineptitude and overall inability to execute any business needs/product development/employee engagement/transparency practices or plain old common decencies has failed them. Odd. Listen, here's the real talk. They have, well...had, all the talent they needed to be successful. Leadership was either a feckless micromanaging perfectionist, an absentee chief officer or unwilling to work with other experienced technical leaders.

Clueless founders

Pros

There were some fun and smart people that worked here.

Cons

Our CEO/founder is incredibly inexperienced. While that can be worked around in some cases, it clearly impacts everything here (sales, marketing, HR, design, product, and engineering). Instead of hiring experienced people allowing them to do their work, he micromanages and makes irrational decisions. He also refuses to actively manage his other co-founders who have the same inexperience. It's painful for anyone who has experience or is good at their job.

Thank you for your honest feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective on Apollo. As you have seen, being a high growth startup means that there is a lot of change along the way. The past year alone, we saw a lot of growth across the business, including people, processes, and strategy. Part of this rapid change is that we sometimes have to figure things out as we go, but building a great company is certainly the main priority. To that extent, our founders have onboarded a very seasoned leadership team, which is already making big strides towards establishing the company in the salestech space. Our CEO, Tim, does not carry decades of experience, but his commitment to excellence, his integrity, humility and his ability to learn, define him more than anything. And he is transforming the whole company with his initiatives for transparency, collaborative decision-making and peer learning (even amongst leadership). You can see all the above in our openly-accessible OKRs for the quarter. I am sorry to hear that you have had a negative experience, but I assure you it is a top company priority to bring excellence to every level of our management team. I am happy to discuss at any point these initiatives and the results you should expect to see and I always welcome your feedback (an anonymous upward feedback survey is planned for this quarter). That said, we can always improve. I’d love to dig in more on your feedback if you’re willing to share. Feel free to email me directly at adonis@apollo.io. Thank you for being candid!
