Apollo 247 Product Management - Technology Department Reviews

Likes

At Apollo 247 employees get lots of responsibilities and ownership. They often work with top bosses on complex problems, which makes you feel trusted. You start by working on smaller tasks and if you do well, your responsibility areas increase. There is a steep learning curve. For me, I was amazed to work on complicated hyperlocal delivery systems when I was new. I also know that seniors have worked along with some of our colleagues on their college applications and actually spent many hours helping them perfect the application and essays. Really haven't heard this from any of my friends that seniors go out of way to help....Read More

Dislikes

Collaborating with other companies is tough. So many times it feels that they genuinely wants projects to fail. Layoffs were very painful. It was not easy to sit with friends and colleagues when they were crying. Last, why do we have HR? We dont get any reply from them at all.

Dislikes

E-Commerce in highly regulated industry with no growth prospects Working on presentations 24x7, new ideas are rejected blindly. Toxic Management esp in Gurgaon and Hyderabad. You have to be willing to be exploited 12hrs/day including most weekends. Too many either leaving or fired by management, new jobs are for getting scapegoats for bad decisions previously made.

I like that full ownership of metrics and projects is given and leadership is usually receptive towards trying out any initiatives/experiments with short timelines and low budget. The org structure seems to be horizontal for the most part and employees even at lower positions are free to pick up high impact initiatives.

Dislikes

Leadership goals change very often, so planned charters are usually abandoned midway due to change in company strategy. Company strategy is usually not very convincing as they try to focus on too many thing at once. Appreciation - both monetary and abstract seems to be missing, which weighs down on the general mood of employees. There is a lot of inertia in moving a project.

Dislikes

Don't go for the brand, except for a few people there is zero contact with the Apollo main Brand. Culture is fake, Hire and Fire is rampant and kept under the rugs to hide the shortcomings of leadership Priorities change everyday, Some Product Leads and Heads pressure you to validate their high pay with zero contribution expecting juniors to take up all the slack through heavy micromanagement
