Great Place to Work!

Business Outlook

Pros

I absolutely loved working for Apollo. It all depends on your manager and how insecure they are in their own knowledge.

Cons

Make you go into the office, even if more productive at home Old Boys Club is alive and well - they do not bother to get to the cause rather pay you to leave. It is turning into a Goldman or BlackRock, which is ashame.

Business Outlook

Pros

- High pedigree - will never once question the intellectual horsepower - Great learning experience with high amounts of responsibility - Truly differentiated investment philosophy vs. peers - Best-in-class compensation

Cons

- No regard for your time whatsoever. This has not changed despite changes in leadership - Highly political. Wish was more transparent. - No real training - expectations are high from the start - Feels like leadership is focused on other parts of the business

Great Place to Work, Not for the faint of heart

Business Outlook

Pros

Surrounded by smart motivated people who care about doing a good job. Pay is good, benefits are good.

Cons

Everybody works very hard, which is a good culture to have but if you want to stand out you need to put in some serious hours. Can be political at times. 45% of my take home pay was an end of year bonus.
