In the iOS group for my internship at HQ, it went very well. I had a good manager. I worked with people that were great to work with.

Other locations (Richardson for me) may be different.

For my full-time offer, I chose Richardson for a combination of cost of living and family living in the area.

All the good of the internship was the opposite in the full-time role. My manager had described his group as having what I wanted, but it wasn't close.

Not sure who to talk to, I spoke with the local choice program rep and was directed to another manager who just told me I had to have been mistaken about the group I chose.

So I found another job and left. Just before I left, I found out that I should have talked to normal HR, not anyone from the choice program, about the false advertising of my group.

New hires need to be informed about what to do if a group is not as advertised. They should talk to HR. During the introduction presentations, a question was asked about what to do if this happens. The presenter did not really answer the question.
