Pros

• Generous PTO policy. • Excellent flexibility — there is genuine trust when it comes to managing your schedule, whether that’s stepping out for an appointment or handling family responsibilities during the day. • Summer Fridays (May–September) are a meaningful and appreciated perk.

Cons

• Onboarding could benefit from a more formalized structure beyond the initial IT setup. Much of the ramp-up depends on manager bandwidth, which can vary. • Given the company’s size and remote structure, it can sometimes be unclear which team or individual to contact for specific HR or operational needs. • In-office expectations would benefit from greater consistency. Policies can vary across teams and roles, and enforcement has not always been uniform. This can create confusion and occasional frustration, particularly for employees who consistently commute while others operate under different expectations. Clearer alignment would strengthen fairness and office culture.

Pros

-Depending on what team you're on, you get a lot of autonomy. (on the flip side, see con- if you're on the wrong team) -Good benefits -Fun events & Travel opportunities

Cons

-People getting laid off left and right all time. One minute you have a team mate and the next they are just gone. -Management is top heavy and operates like a fraternity -If you're on the wrong team every move is watched -Your job is NEVER safe -Imagine with the acquisition that was just announced by Apollo that the reason for layoffs was to become lean before transition. I would hedge bets that this will also continue to be a numbers game and positions are going to be uncertain -Sales plans are always ambiguous and there were even times where the plan wasn't out until several months into the year. Expected to sell over and above but didn't always have a sales plan to follow. It was always changing.
