We all saw the Apollo listing on LinkedIn… now, the question we all want to know, how shit is their culture? I know their PE group is known for having the worst hours in the business, how does this translate to RE debt?

Have you applied there and heard back?
nope
I like the "we all saw" lol. I never worked there but I do know a few folks there. I'll say they're extremely sharp, know how to make money, and are well paid. I did get the sense that they work longer hours than others. Now how much more? I really can't gauge that. But they do a ton of interesting stuff on the credit - including mezz, pref, transitional bridge loans, and construction loans.

Do you just stalk MF LinkedIn pages for new job postings?
You do realize that LinkedIn tailors jobs that it shows you based on your industry, right?
PM me
I'm very close with an associate there who told me they work a lot (90 hours a week) pretty consistently. They get paid extremely well even in downturns, however. Their pay is in line with blackstone and Starwood and probably beats it in some years. They do a ton of interesting construction loans and you will learn from the best there. But brutal hours for sure.
How's the culture otherwise? It's one thing to work 90 hours with people that will verbally berate you and another to work with well-meaning people that you get along with. From a lot of the PE forum's stories, Apollo's PE group falls in the first camp. Is the CRE debt team the same?
From the people I've met there, they seem pretty nice. They grind but it doesn't seem like it's the same as the PE group. There was another associate I met when I visited their offices who had been there for 4 years and said it's been a great experience so seems pretty decent.
With the firm's culture emanating from three ex-Drexel co-founders, two of which (Leon Black and Josh Harris) are by all accounts psychos / screamers, and the flagship group (corporate PE) being described as hell on earth...I'd be surprised if there's any group within Apollo with "good" culture...just "bad" to "really bad" to "really really bad"
I assume all 90 hours are in the office too? Or are people able to pack up and finish at home after 7/8 when all the big dogs go home
Not sure about this but I think my friend works from home on weekends
Anyone get an interview? If so, just curious? Did you go through a external third party recruiter, knew someone at the company, cold applied?
Cold applied to the analyst role
Nice, good luck
