Pros

As a long-time user of Apollo's OSS, working here was a dream come true and the experience has so far exceeded my expectations. Throughout the pandemic, the leadership team has actively encouraged employees to take time off when needed ("unlimited time off" is definitely not a trap here!). If I had to describe the culture in a word it would be "kindness." We all work very hard and are driving toward big goals, but work/life balance is front and center and everyone is very thoughtful in their interactions with coworkers and generous in sharing their time to help onboard new team members.

Cons

The company has grown significantly over the last year and there have been inevitable growing pains.
