Pros

- Pays well - Interesting technical space - Ample opportunities to take on more responsibility

Cons

I don't want to repeat what's already been mentioned in past reviews (read these). Here were some of my qualms: - No clear long term company or product strategy. Completely unacceptable for a Series D company. The company is clearly riding high from a series of lucky early bets that are now paying off. Leaderships definition of product strategy involves cloning competitors' products at a fraction of the quality using offshore contract labor. - Zero change management present in the product development organization. Major processes change extremely quickly and without any clear rhythm or reason. This creates an atmosphere of chaos and confusion, exacerbated by a globally distributed & fully remote team. - Really poor and inexperienced people management. You feel like a number at Apollo and not much more.

Lots to take in here and sorry to hear your frustration. This review is a hard read and includes some pretty tough critique of our leadership and product strategy. I don't think we'll agree completely here. so I'll just say thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, we pay close attention to it, and even though it's hard to read I appreciate the time you took to write it. - Declan

Pros

Only the fact that it's remote work, and maybe not even that.

Cons

Not even sure where to start with this company. This is probably one of the most erratic companies I have NOT had the pleasure of being a part of. The lack of structure within job roles is alarming. There were several employees that I worked with who literally had no idea what their true job descriptions were, with the responsibilities and priorities within roles shifting almost daily, leaving people stressed and confused. Upper management is absolutely clueless about the day-to-day, nor do they care to be involved. The expectation is to "just do" and "do it fast" without question, even at the expense of your time, mental health ect. I honestly have never experienced such a company absent a clear framework. They use about 100 different "productivity tools," which makes it close to impossible to work cohesively and produce high-quality work. Everyone is basically operating on their own and "hoping" for successful results. The turnover is super high, and people are leaving left and right, which is a huge red flag. I would not at all recommend this company if you are looking for a place that offers any kind of structure, work-life balance, or an organized environment.
