How you talk - that is waht matters NOT what you talk.

Pros

Company based on a good social concept. Many employees are smart and capable. You get a lot of small perks like picnics, games, cookies etc.

Cons

Top Management except perhaps the CEO and CFO do not seem passionate about the company. They are hands off and clueless about how the company runs. So many sycophants under them have made this company their haven. You need not know what happened to walk away with the biggest prize in All Hands meeting. All management positions are almost always filled from outside. There is no scientific analysis of the effectiveness of the promotions and discounts, there is no cost-benefit analysis of the projects. Everything seems to work well on auto-pilot.

Pros

Decent pay, but not enough for a web developer.

Cons

After the initial interview, I thought it would be a good place to work. I was wrong. Management was always breathing down my neck and always needed things done now! The amount of micromanagement here is unprecedented.

Stay Away - Apollo has cut everything good out of this company. It will never be the same again.

Pros

It’s a full time job

Cons

Mixed messages from upper management, big employment cuts, unsure future. Moral has plummeted. Poor 401k match, not a good looking future. What little culture and pride died with the acquisitions from Apollo.
