      Upper Level positions filled by external candidates over well-qualified internal employees

      Pros

      Most days I am proud to say that I work for Apple. The products speak for themselves and it is great to be able to use them. The work environment can be very invigorating as well as mentally challenging.

      Cons

      Salaried employees are expected to work 50-60 hours a week. Advancement opportunities minimal for upper level positions. External applicants are being hired with less experience & fewer qualifications over well-qualified employees. Internal candidates for those same positions are then asked to provide training for the new Apple employee.

      Hard work, little reward or recognition

      Pros

      I get to work on cool and exciting products. The business travel is always first class (actually business class for flights overseas) and the hotels we stay at are top-notch.

      Cons

      Extremely long hours working in local office and also overseas in the manufacturing sites. Work'life balance is completely skewed. People don't get properly recognized for their contributions. Promotion from within has more to do with politics and less to do with how well you do your job.

      A good place to have on your resume, but move on or out quickly. Politics rule here.

      Pros

      Get early info on product releases and plans. Get to be in the reality distortion field and understand how it works.

      Cons

      Poor management and development of employees. Politics rule who gets a promotion and who works on interesting assignments, even if the idea originated from someone else. A friend of mine was forced to leave after his bosses best friend was fired from another team. They had no extra headcount so his boss made mistakes and blamed them on him so he could be fired, and then replaced him with his friend. HR wouldn't do anything about it when they were told what happened. Similar stories abound there, and makes people want to leave.
