Pros

Free food. Thats it, and probably pay

Cons

Where do I even start? Ever since I started working here I have met only hostile and passive aggressive people. Cutting you in line for food, tailgating you behind doors so they don’t open it themselves, etc. Management also sucks, they cannot take feedback and try to belittle you if you do due to their insecurity. I also often hear a lot of cursing from other offices and people who sound like they are trying to rub in your face that you are wrong and I am right kind of mentality. The culture here SUCKS due to bad management. They are only here for a paycheck. They don’t seem to leave because they cannot land interviews at other places, unsurprisingly

Pros

Working with very highly motivated and smart people, free breakfast/lunch/dinner (if you work past 8pm)/free cars home (if you work past 8pm). Over time, coworkers can become friends and even though Apollo is pretty good size, it still has that small firm vibe since the floors are broken-up throughout the building. The building is an excellent location near the F train and N,Q,R trains that let you out at The Plaza then a 2 min walk to the door. The offices are beautiful with stunning views of Central Park and The Empire State building. For the most part, the work is challenging and will invite opportunities to learn a lot. Bonuses / comp are great. You get an iPhone with a plan and a work laptop in some cases which is nice. Apollo, at least from my perspective, is a generous company that treats the employees well. And Leon Black is awesome.

Cons

Lower-level employees aren't given much opportunity, if any, to move-up in the company. The environment can be intense because the expectations are very high...kind of of like, you need to be finished with something before asked...like everything is due yesterday. Many people work late nights and sometimes on weekends. Leaving the office during the day or right at 6pm is frowned-upon..leave at you own risk...If you know what you're getting into and believe you can handle it, then you'll be fine. If you're a type B personality...brace yourself for the Type-A's and set your boundaries.
