Apollo Education Group

Engaged Employer

IT is terrible, always in flux, never appreciated by top management. The current CIO is incompetent, so are executives. - IT Professional Apollo Education Group Employee Review

Pros

Close to freeway. Good benefits Free education if you want to earn a bachelor or masters degree in their curriculum--even PHD you pay only 20%. Your spouse can be hugely discounted also. Covered parking (except spaces are too small and your car gets dinged up) Great state of the art data center.

Cons

HUGE turnover. Don't kid yourself on making a difference or being successful here ("Oh, I can do any job and work for anybody and be successful"--heard it a hundred times). You'll be collecting a paycheck--and maybe that is your sole purpose. Apollo revenue is down a third--you are the flotsam they clean up. Keep dumping and pumping their IT organization. Absolutely do not care about security. IT is frozen in place. Nothing is going to happen to save this company because the executives at the top dump IT periodically because they feel like it, so the remaining staff just want to save their jobs. The remaining security team --give me a break. Compliance? Interfacing with the auditors to IT? Let the auditors interface themselves. The Internal Audit Director has a horrible reputation--zero people skills and cannot keep staff--or attract them. Innovation? Huh! You have the wrong company. Stupid office cubes--tiny and so low walls you can look right into the eyes of your neighbor. The "Directors" get offices--they have real work to do. (not director level like at real companies). IT is micromanaged (yes, that darn CIO again). No, no innovation is happening here. Compliance culture and not in a good way.
