Apple

The Engineers are some of the nicest and most talented I've ever had the chance to work with. I loved the chance to get to work with and learn from them. I learned quite a bit with my chance at Apple, and I am grateful for it.

Culture started out just fine and was great for years, but had a major shift once a new "regime" was established. Upper management became very buddy-buddy, and it was hard to feel like my org was still run like an Apple Org versus, let's just say, not Apple. This is very team-dependent within Apple.

Understand the problems that are going on in your organization and listen to the first-level managers more. They understand the difficulties more than you do if you're just looking at your phone during bug meetings because you've lost interest.
