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.

Community initiatives

AltFinance

In 2021, we proudly announced the launch of AltFinance, an up to $90 million high-touch, comprehensive program to introduce talented students of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to the alternatives industry and to provide them training, support and mentorship. In partnership with our colleagues at Ares and Oaktree, the focus of this effort is to invest in HBCU students and offer a clear pathway into financial services and alternatives investing.

Apollo Veterans Talent Network

The Apollo Veterans Talent Network ("VetNet") is a career platform designed to help veterans at every level find the right job for their talents and acquired skill sets. Built in conjunction with CareerBuilder, a company owned by Apollo-managed funds, this site provides access to opportunities at Apollo and in our portfolio companies. Through VetNet and other key initiatives, we work to ease veterans’ transition from service to civilian life and a thriving post-military career.

    

Employee Communities

Citizenship

We apply the same passion, rigor, and innovation to our Citizenship efforts as we do to our business, and Apollo encourages all employees to make a positive impact in their communities.

Our Citizenship program provides a forum for our employees to do this through a variety of philanthropic and volunteer initiatives and other engagement activities.
