Apple's greateast facade
Pros: A refreshingly collaborative environment that lends itself to personal growth and development. There is a stringent hiring process, but it ultimately results in the organization sourcing candidates that are like-minded, empathetic, and forming connections is generally pretty easy.
Cons: Growth opportunities are limited and ultimately a byproduct of favoritism rather than any real sense of objectivity and what is sensible for the team. Within the last month, the interview process has been moderately altered and offers more of a sense of objectivity, but is ultimately farcical. Initiatives at the retail level ultimately revolve around meeting the demand of unreliable performance metrics and wildly varying company directives. The organization also lays claim to compassion and direct action toward protecting human rights without recognition to its own transgressions against humanity, utilizing slave / internment labor to fulfill manufacturing in China, compliance with initiatives which stand directly against any modicum of humanity. Between the stockpile of cash reserves, the year over year growth in valuation and earnings, one would think that they would pay their employees more fairly, but that's also tossed to the wayside. There is not any shred of real accountability or integrity within the confines of this place, and anyone who states otherwise is participating in and complicit with the facade.
