Apollo Education Group Senior Software Developer reviews

bad insurances, crappy reviews. bad managers. This company spent 30 million on an hr implementation, then 3 years later is outsourcing it. They spent millions moving people around between buildings (on different locations, 10 miles apart), only to have them end up on the exact same building (and floors !) a few years later. I kid you not. Upper management is a buddy buddy club. Changes frequently. In 15 years I lost count of all the CEO's and CIO's who have come and gone; all with a golden parachute. Too much red tape when developing software. A 30 minute fix takes a full day in documentation and procedures. Politics because someone doesn't "like" a product is terrible. Good technical people are promoted to be managers who then have NO clue how to manage. Too many managers. I knew a lot of "managers" who didn't have anyone report to them ! ridiculous. They have lost an enormous amount of enrolled students including the critical new enrollments. Cut in half in a couple years if not more.HEAVILY depending on federal aid which is being cut back (left leaning government which is anti private university) In 15 years I've seen this place go from pretty great to sub-standard. Too bad. It could have been a lean machine with great people.

There is no balance in the team between senior and mid level developers. No more good benefits and no growth.
