If I had to work at a corporation, this one felt non-corportate. Almost like a constant startup.
Pros: Freedom, flexibility, wearing jeans, working on the most high-profile projects on the planet. Working with some of the best talent in business at the time. Launching products, hiring great people, and just seeing our products everywhere was great.
Cons: Sometimes a bit tough to work with the large personalities of senior management, and tough to influence HQ decisions from the global regions. As we great larger, it got more and more corporate (naturally). One thing though--I never really had time off. With the iPhone I was always tethered and there was an expectation that we would be on email and calls all the time, which was the price to pay for flexibility.
