Fun, but serious
Fun, but serious
Compensation is great, beer bashes are fun, and the work is cutting-edge and very cool. The attention to detail is incredible, and the quality of the engineering that occurs in the labs is the best you'll find in the world.
The company is distant, not much of a 'startup' mentality, as much as they'd like to be. The higher-ups seem to treat employees as a bit more disposable than they should. Also, HR is filled with bureaucracy.
Treat the hardware engineers better; they won't keep leaving for Nest, Microsoft, and Google.

Interviewed for one of the iPhone hardware teams. Was an intern at the time, so there was no phone interview; went straight to an onsite interview. Several interviews included being shown a board of electronics and identifying different components
