Apple is a good place to work....depending upon your department.
Pros: Good benefits, great products and innovation.
Cons: In this department most of our Finance team is hourly and we feel we are not treated as good as our salaried counterparts. We work hard and meet our deliverables but feel we are micromanaged and unappreciated. Promotions for Financial Analyst positions are given externally to candidates with MBA's even though team members who have been stuck in the same position for years are qualified and capable and managers in this department don't even have a Bachelors degree. Rules are not enforced uniformly throughout the team but rather enforced upon certain team members who are singled out. Any new responsibilities we take on are always considered lateral rather than upward movement and the outlook for advancement if you ever want to be considered a "real" Financial Analyst or even a Manager are grim. Any attempt to discuss our feelings with management is looked down upon as complaining rather than expressing our concerns.
