Thrilling & Dynamic Environment
Pros: Company headquarters has intelligent people who are passionate about the product in a fast pace environment with opportunities for creativity (hardly any bureaucratic hurdles). People are eager to deliver high quality results and do not hesitate to meet in person and resolve issues quickly. Pay and benefits are amazing as well as stock and promotion opportunities. Movement within the company is encouraged.
Cons: Apple culture at headquarters takes getting used to and the first 6 months tend to be challenging in the highly driven environment. People are detail oriented and analyze every detail which can derail meetings. There is plenty of uncertainty and you have to be adaptable to change. Hours are long due to the eagerness to deliver results.
