Pros

- You'll get to work on a wide variety of challenging but yet fun problems - The people are incredible; super smart, super friendly, super helpful - Apollo fully understands the importance of work life balance - There are a ton of incredible learning and growing opportunities, with great promotion paths - The Apollo community is incredible, filled with amazing engineers and awesome ideas

Cons

- The GraphQL ecosystem is moving fast, so there is a lot to learn and stay on top of (but if you constantly like learning new things, this is really a pro) - Apollo is a growing startup which means you can expect to wear multiple hats in your day to day work (which can also be a pro) - Ummm ... that's it? Honestly, Apollo is an amazing place to work with incredibly low employee churn rates, for that exact reason :-)
