Proud to have been part of the team
Pros: I joined Apple because I wanted to be part of something bigger than myself.  Part of team and community.  I wanted to be stimulated intellectually and wanted an emotional connection to a brand.  I had all of that for the first three years I was there.  I was inspired by my leaders and in turn could inspire my team.  We were in it together.  :)
Cons: There are many decisions that have been made to help the customer experience at Apple, but to the detriment of the employee experience. They have been layering on more and more task but not the labor to support it and expecting the same results in customer and employee satisfaction.
They lack a consistent and structured way of building leadership talent within the organization outside of the ASLP program and it impacting the morale of the teams, because they see the lack of LEADERSHIP.
