Pros

Pay isn't bad and the Marketing, Comms &; PR are excellent, so it looks like a fantastic company to work for. There are some good, kind and patient people in the company (although many have been forced out).

Cons

There's a review from Apex Dublin which sums this up far better than I can. Bottom line is they just don't care about the people, particulalry the mid-level to senior managers. By this I mean, those Mid/Senior Managers are screwed. They are heaped with responsibility and pressure but have zero authority to actually run an operation. There is NO help. And there are no resources for operations and client deliverables. All the money goes on making the company look good, buying other companies and business development. No money is spent on operations or staff welfare. There is lip-service from the executive about being progressive and caring for work-life balance and mental health, however, this is not reflected in their actions.

Pros

There are good people throughout the organization who genuinely want to do quality work and support one another.

Cons

My experience was that Apex Group prioritized short-term cost savings (involuntary terminations) over investing in its people's on-the-job training, promotion opportunities, compensation & bonus pay, and morale/culture Turnover was significantly higher than I expected, particularly in key functions and at the Functional Head, Regional Head, or C-Suite level Prospective employees should carefully review their offer letter regarding probationary period-related employment notice periods & benefits eligibility (you can only enroll in the 401K once you've worked there for 3 months) During my time there, employee morale was low. Progressions/promotions, as swell as compensation growth and bonus opportunities were minimal due to frequent pressure to 'do more with less,' leading to voluntary resignations, employee burnout, and client attrition due low quality service If you are interviewing, I would encourage you to ask direct questions about probationary notice period, turnover, and leadership changes in the last year Based on my experience, I would not recommend anyone works at this firm
