Apollo Group Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Established company with a long history in the Cruise industry."

"I have worked as intern in software development its a very good environment to learn and develop yourself in the programming field."

"I've been working for Apollo Group since 2010. I was able to rapidly move up due to outstanding word of mouth by my peers. My current team is nothing short of awesome, from the Director on down. Unfortunately, the Senior leadership team is unstable, going through 2 CIOs and 2 CTOs in the four years there. The current CIO is all about outsourcing and has gutted the IT staff, both through RIFs and attrition."

"I have worked for Apollo for over eight years. It has been a decent company to work for, but it is now struggling to reinvent itself. It had a meteoric rise for the past couple of decades. That has changed as the demographic of customer, the industry and technology has changed. The company could not stay on the innovative edge of education."

"Absolutely loved working here. Got extensive experience on SalesForce and SoapUI testing. The entire team was so integrated and focused, that working on 2 week agile cycles, we made excellent bug free deliveries to the client."

"The current CIO has destroyed the IT organization. Most of the key players the kept the organization running have left. It's only a matter of time until major outages cause a major pain for Apollo."

"It's all about the money that goes to the top."
