Advice to Senior Management – Be honest.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at Apple part-time

Pros – passionate and interesting colleagues.
great work environment.
generous perks.

Cons – takes over your life - they demanded a lot for a casual retail job. it's good if you love the brand and want to become a genius for the rest of your life but not suitable if you just want some spare cash to get through uni!

too many hierarchical buzz words- which provided a bit of a cultural clash between the american structure and the australian egalitarianism.

I worked at Apple as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – Casual Dress everyday. Fun and creative workplace. Excellent training schemes and in house incentives such as discounts on their products. Excellent opportunities to climb up in management and the pay is quite good. Strong focus on customer experience.

Cons – They mostly employ contractors and have a strict policy in not giving to charities or sponsoring events. Because it is like a cult-like work place where everyone is almost the point of obsessed with Apple products, there is also that feeling of weirdness and over "loving" the products. Focused on gaining numbers rather than giving back to the community

Advice to Senior Management – Give back to the community rather than focus on taking from consumers

I have been working at Apple full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – they pay on time and the contract is regular

Cons – once they put you the blue t-shirt they forget your previous experience and skills and you can forget any career in this place. You will probably remain there without opportunities. Managers are taken from other companies like jeans or shoes companies instead of letting you grow with time.
(and you could be even and electronic engineer)

Advice to Senior Management – coming from other companies like shoes or fastfood or jeans, judge by yourself
