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

I absolutely love working here. The leadership team has done a great job of valuing smart, hard-working individuals who are also a joy to work with. The team has been growing quickly without losing the values that have made it so successful so far. There is a great amount of career development and the team truly cares about your goals and ambitions.

Cons

I have been sitting here trying to think of something that I truly dislike, and I really can't think of anything that I would want to change.
