Clueless founders

Pros

There were some fun and smart people that worked here.

Cons

Our CEO/founder is incredibly inexperienced. While that can be worked around in some cases, it clearly impacts everything here (sales, marketing, HR, design, product, and engineering). Instead of hiring experienced people allowing them to do their work, he micromanages and makes irrational decisions. He also refuses to actively manage his other co-founders who have the same inexperience. It's painful for anyone who has experience or is good at their job.

Thank you for your honest feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective on Apollo. As you have seen, being a high growth startup means that there is a lot of change along the way. The past year alone, we saw a lot of growth across the business, including people, processes, and strategy. Part of this rapid change is that we sometimes have to figure things out as we go, but building a great company is certainly the main priority. To that extent, our founders have onboarded a very seasoned leadership team, which is already making big strides towards establishing the company in the salestech space. Our CEO, Tim, does not carry decades of experience, but his commitment to excellence, his integrity, humility and his ability to learn, define him more than anything. And he is transforming the whole company with his initiatives for transparency, collaborative decision-making and peer learning (even amongst leadership). You can see all the above in our openly-accessible OKRs for the quarter. I am sorry to hear that you have had a negative experience, but I assure you it is a top company priority to bring excellence to every level of our management team. I am happy to discuss at any point these initiatives and the results you should expect to see and I always welcome your feedback (an anonymous upward feedback survey is planned for this quarter). That said, we can always improve. I’d love to dig in more on your feedback if you’re willing to share. Feel free to email me directly at adonis@apollo.io. Thank you for being candid!

Pros

Great product, office, with great talent still left.

Cons

Leadership makes the same mistakes over and over and has no direction. Employee churn is getting out of hand. Proceed with caution, could be a great team to join once the c-suite is replaced

Hi, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you appreciate the great people and the continuing education benefits we offer, as well as the work-life balance that is important to us. We certainly don't have a hiring freeze in the company - if you look at our career site at present there are over 30 jobs that the recruitment team are actively trying to fill, across a wide variety of functions and geographies. Regarding compensation and benefits, we recognize that there is always room for improvement, and we are continuously assessing our offerings to ensure that they remain competitive. Your input on the 401K match and pay has been noted. As for the feedback on our leadership and product, we take all feedback seriously and are constantly striving to improve. We regularly review the results of our internal surveys and are committed to creating an environment where every team member feels supported and heard. Leadership is actively working to address concerns, and we are always open to hearing more about how we can continue to improve both the work environment and the product. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. We are committed to making Apollo.io a great place to work and appreciate your perspective as we work toward that goal. Best, Declan
