I applied online. I interviewed at Apollo Global Management
Interview
I did 4 rounds of interviews. 1st was with the recruiter and basic questions. The 2nd was technical with two developers, 3rd was technical with CTO and 4th was with HR (more personality questions). I was GHOSTED after 4 weeks of interviews. I emailed THREE times and was told "they are waiting for a decision". They never told me I was rejected, just purely ghosted me. Seriously what kind of company are you to make me MEET the CTO and then GHOST me?!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
No coding - just basic OOP / algorithms / specific language questions
I interviewed at Apollo Global Management (New York, NY)
Interview
Had a coding interview round. It was a very simple LeetCode-style problem in Python with an engineer. 30 minutes long, straightforward, focused on basics and clear communication, overall positive experience.

Question 1
Why am i interested in the company? and a project i did
Initial interview, large project, then superday. After spending around 20 hrs on the project, was expected to live code during the superday. Strenuous interview process and should not expect free labor out of candidates in this fashion.
I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Apollo Global Management in June 2025
Interview
Pretty difficult hacker rack assessment for stage 1. 3 problems -- 1 OOP Python, 1 LC medium, 1 SQL problem.
Python oop problem was significantly easier than the LC medium.
The sql problem was also straight foward if using unions, but could not remember the syntax.
LC medium was solvable with brute force but did not pass half of test cases.
