Pros

Company offers good salary and year end bonus.

Cons

Management do not care about employees carrier growth. No policy/process in place to keep good employee and recognize them. HR is passive and Annual Performance review is just a joke. I wish that the annual performance review had some meaning other wise it's unfair to good hardworking employees. Managers are busy to get promoted to him/her self instead recognize his/her employee. Most of work will be dumped on good and hard working employee and one who doesn't do good work will enjoy simply not doing anything.

Apollo Global Management Response

This ensures employees receive timely feedback and are able to track their career progression and advancement trajectory.

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.
