Pros

I met cool people and made friends with them.

Cons

Apollo cleaned house and started stripping benefits. Poor decisions were made without consulting the employees who would be directly affected by said decisions (why? oh because they don't care about you or your voice.) Anthony Dupree (CIO post-Apollo acquisition) actually fabricated completely FALSE ACCUSATIONS against my team and I to try and make us look bad. I wish I was kidding. Every day there was spent putting out fires caused by management while trying to prove your worth so you wouldn't be laid off. At a certain point I realized I'd be doing a disservice to my career if I didn't leave that bad place. With so many people quitting/being laid off/fired, it has deteriorated into a cesspool of unhappy employees trying to pick up the pieces that were left behind by those who went on to work for better companies.

Pros

Culture was amazing before it was acquired by private equity.

Cons

The culture was great (before private equity), which made career advancement a game of social politics.
