Apple's HR/Staffing organizations are being run into the ground
Pros: Cutting edge technology with cool consumer products.  Strong brand name recognition.  Apple provides solid pay structure and benefits along with outstanding short and long-term stock performance.  A unique work environment that embraces diversity.
Cons: The new HR leadership team from EA is running the HR and Staffing organizations (and eventually the company) into the ground.  We are one of the most globally recognized brand names on the planet and this is as good as we could get? Staffing and HR folks are leaving in droves.  At least 10 people have left in the last 2 months.  They are firing and pushing employees out who are long-time, loyal Apple workers.  They are looking for drones and trying to build an empire without considering others or the business ramifications.  If you have an opinion that doesn't match theirs then you are out.  These employees acquired the top engineering talent needed to make Apple products successful with great personal sacrifice; working an obscene amount of hours.  This new leadership team has proven to be dishonest, self-serving, condescending, egotistical and lacking common sense.  If you are considering a job in HR or Recruiting at Apple - run the other direction.
