Does anyone have any insight into Apollo LA? Specifically their new alternative strategy group there?

Looking for serious answers - am aware the LA office has a bit of a reputation of being a revolving door.

This is being presented as a new, entrepreneurial group at the firm, and I’m curious if anyone knows anything about this group in specific, and the general culture of the LA office in 2025.

In general, have actually heard recently that one of the better kept secrets is that the hours at Apollo aren’t even that bad anymore… would love to hear this again.

Many thanks!
