Was pretty good until Apollo takeover

Anonymous employee

Pros

Truly care about diversity, company tries to live its values, opportunities to shine abound. Pay is good, PTO is great and you don’t feel pressured to not take it. Many smart and caring people.

Cons

Sadly with the move to private equity now all the focus is just on cost. Ex com is somewhat dysfunctional and really poor behavior is allowed to happen at that level, which sets a bad example (verbal bullying, not believing in diversity-some don’t even fake it, it’s pathetic). I would say it is a really insecure time to work there as Apollo is cutting left and right and you’re expendable despite performance.
