Recent Questions about HR at Apple

• How does Apple handle HR issues?Not as well as you'd might think. Their HR department is not an advocate for the employee, but rather an advocate for the company. If there is a problem, they have your back only insofar as they want to keep you from rocking the boat. They are not really HR, but more a group to help put fires out when things go wrong.Answered 8 years agoView All
