Process
The interview process at Apollo was very chaotic. They outsourced recruiting to an agency, and my recruiter switched over mid-process, so they told me I was moving forward and then didn't get back to me for weeks. I had to chase them down. The steps in the process kept changing after they were communicated, so I was never quite sure what was left.
But the real kicker, the take-home assignment required you to get into Apollo and build a workflow in the tool, and core functionality I needed was broken the entire time I had between interviews. I reached out to support to try to get help, and it said they wouldn't respond for five business days. I reached out to the recruiter to flag it, and she said no one knew why it was broken and I'd need to wait for support, then asked if I wanted to push the interview another week. I withdrew my candidacy.

A Truly Supportive and Growth-Oriented Workplace!
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
July 25, 2025
Pros: - Steep learning curve with continuous opportunities to grow technically and professionally.
- Competitive compensation package.
- Flexible work-from-home policy.
- No micromanagement and no fixed work timings; autonomy is respected (this may vary by team, but I’ve been fortunate to have an understanding and supportive manager).
- Unlimited leave policy that’s actually respected.
- Annual team and engineering offsites that help recharge and connect with colleagues.
- Timely responses to any concerns or escalations.
- A culture where people are open to listening and genuinely care about resolving issues.
- Bonus payouts delivered as promised every two quarters.
- Transparent and honest feedback from peers and managers, fostering growth and trust.
Cons: While flexible hours are great, you may occasionally need to work late due to time zone differences across teams.
Getting unblocked can sometimes take time, especially when the issue isn’t straightforward, though people are generally helpful.
Promotions can be challenging; you need to consistently prove yourself and meet multiple criteria.
Annual salary increments are relatively modest, likely because the base compensation is already competitive compared to the market.

Great team and interesting work
SRE/DevOps Engineer • Current Employee
January 23, 2025
Pros: I'm always working on a challenging project and collaborating with competent engineers across the globe.
Average team morale is high, and there's a genuine concern with avoiding burnout.
From my experience, the expectations are on par with people's current skillsets, and leaders push for and recognize personal growth.
I don't get too involved in scrutinizing senior leadership, but the feeling I get is that they're pretty stable and aligned.
Cons: I haven't really had any standing issues in my time here.
