Pros

Excellent Product. Huge Total Addressable Market. Really strong unit economics with a fast growing business well north of 100m ARR. Some world class talent recently added to the Senior Leadership team Strong focus on improving the company culture at every possible turn Amazing people, some of the best I've ever worked with

Cons

Not for everyone, super fast paced, must be able to move fast and with urgency and speak and act courageously, two very important values we have.

Great Remote Culture, Fast-Paced - Know How to Set Boundaries

Pros

- The remote culture is well-executed. Most teams truly embrace flexibility, and as long as you get your work done, you have autonomy over your schedule. - Leadership is generally open to feedback and self-reflective, even at high levels, which makes it easier to share concerns and drive change. - It’s a great place if you’re self motivated and enjoy fast paced environments; there’s always an opportunity to take ownership and grow. - The company has matured quite a bit, but still operates with a startup mindset, which can be exciting if you like solving problems in real time.

Cons

- Some people struggle with remote work because they feel the need to be “always on,” especially those working across multiple regions including NAM, EMEA, and APAC, it’s important to set boundaries early on because no one will set them for you. - Prioritization is a challenge. Everything can feel urgent all the time, so knowing how to manage your workload is key to avoiding burnout. - Some leadership areas still feel early stage despite the company’s growth, and G&A teams especially need to shift from being reactive to consultative to better support the business. If you thrive in a fast moving, high growth environment and can set your own boundaries, you’ll likely enjoy working here. If you need a lot of structure or struggle with async communication, it can be challenging. Learn to manage expectations, prioritize what matters most, and take ownership of your time, it’ll make all the difference.

revolving door of chaos

Pros

+ Some great people here who actually care and are thoughtful and want the company to succeed + Company embraces being fully remote - though with the amount of last minute fires set off by the CEO, you'll lose out on work/life balance

Cons

If you have another option in this market, take it. Don't work at Apollo. Fundamentally, the CEO has no solid direction and constantly changes vision, micromanages people many layers below, and cuts people off in conversations and overall acts in an unpredictable manner that makes the company deeply unpleasant and hierarchical. Because of this behavior, leadership is a revolving door, senior leaders usually stay for less than a year which adds to the chaos of okrs and strategies changing multiple times even within a quarter. If there's a new plan in place, it's because the CEO said it's the new plan and everyone is meant to just follow in line. Industry headwinds and initial product bets put Apollo in a winning position, but arbitrary leadership decisions get in the way of fully realizing their potential. It's unfortunate.
