Avoid EMEIA DFA in Europe Finance
Pros: Apple, collectively,  is full of passionate, smart, and driven individuals. People hold themselves to high standards and great attention to details. Everyone wants to do what's best for our customers.
Cons: Unfortunately, there are really bad eggs in the London office.  There is a lot of focus on doing non-value-add type of work. Managers tend to play favourites and isolate those who disagree with them, even if their points can be extremely valid. People seems to be promoted based on tenure rather than aptitude. You have to kiss up to you boss to advance in your career. These comments only extend to the European finance team. Other functions like marketing or engineering do not play office politics like this group. The compensation is also terrible compared to all the places I've worked at in the past 10 years.
