Is Athene any better? What are working hours like in NYC/CT office?
do catholic priests make bad babysitters?
Apollo has the best WLB, culture, and people on the street now that Josh Harris is gone. I am absolutely not fearful of any of the seniors and they treat juniors so well. We have great hours and get to work on the coolest deals. They really want to help you with your career and spend a lot of time mentoring you, I have never heard any of them ever yell at or abuse one of us. 10/10 experience!
crazy someone from apo had time to post here
