Life at Apollo
As One Apollo team, we believe that doing great work and having fun go hand in hand, and we are proud of what we can achieve together.
Our Workplace Culture
Our “One Apollo” mindset extends to our high-energy, creative, and collaborative culture. We have created annual traditions including transforming our New York office for our legendary Halloween event (Apolloween), celebrating Diwali in our India offices and joining together at year-end for seasonal Citizenship charitable initiatives such as Winter Wishes.
Our employee affinity networks also help bring employees together to support and celebrate the full spectrum of cultural and personal pride across the firm, fostering authenticity, inclusion, and belonging for all our people. Our workplace initiatives are informed by ongoing employee feedback across all levels, so we can continue to evolve our culture and co-create the future of the firm.
Even with our global growth, Apollo maintains its entrepreneurial roots; we pride ourselves on our small, close-knit firm feel.
