Pros

- They pay over market average for junior employees since the turnover rate is so high (they can't retain top talent because nobody wants to work under such a toxic environment). Although you are paid slightly above market (+15K) the company is at such an early stage of its life where there are no real processes in place and you spend more time doing manual excel / sql work than learning the business (like for example our reporting is all done through excel files and everyone does their own thing and finds data from wherever they want). 90% of "Front Office" jobs are dead end. - Theres free lunch - You get an iphone since you'll be on call 24/7

Cons

- Horrible work/life balance - Management is extremely disrespectful / rude to its employees. - Get ready to get cursed out on calls on a weekly basis -Insurance solutions group was originally a D- tier asset manager which just so happened to get acquired by Apollo. They never invested in building out their technical systems / hiring software engineers and they are constantly haunted by data quality issues in databases. We literally lost a client because they said we had mickey mouse analytics. We have our CIO doing data quality checks because nobody else wants to do it. - Not a collaborative culture and many employees throw each other under the bus all the time. No sharing of information to gain a competitive edge. This is probably the worst part about working here. -

Pros

A super innovative and entrepreneurial place that is leading both equity and credit markets every day. If you enjoy an intellectually stimulating creative culture working amongst the most brilliant and talented people in the industry, this is the place.

Cons

A very intense environment, with work product expected to be elite. Hours can be long and occasionally weekend work required, depending on role.

Pros

Tremendous culture across the firm - everyone truly wants to do what's best for Apollo with no local agendas Industry leading position in a growing industry and a great business model allows Apollo to enjoy sustainable growth Visionary and inspiring CEO with strong leadership Innovation is prized, at the leading edge of AI adoption Very commercial company where decisions are made on merit rather than politics Very welcoming place - great team environment and people genuinely like working with each other Flat organization where leaders are accessible Community-oriented and employees are encouraged to participate in community service Leaders are aware of the details of their business and lead by example

Cons

Not necessarily a con but this is a high-commitment work environment where people really are expected to give 100% day in and day out. The pace of change in focus and priorities is high so people need to be somewhat flexible and willing to pivot in what they are working on.
