Employment status: current

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.
