First Week at Apple!

Hello All. It has been long since I first posted. Now I am at Infinite Loop 1 Cupertino, the place where Apple is. (See Picture 1)

Life at Apple is much more excited than I expected and I learn a lot everyday. All the people here seems to be very busy, but they are very open and cooperative. You can also see some people with strong characteristic. People who don't wear shoes, man wearing a skirt, people with long beard and so on. I can see that Apple is the company with the most creative and passionate people at Silicon Valley, leading technological innovation and lifestyle of future world.

Since this is the first blog, I will start with some introduction and things I felt at Apple.

(1) Where Apple is located. How it is like in Cupertino.

As I said, 1 Infinite Loop is where Apple is located. I-Phone users! Did you know that the icon of Maps designates Apple's location? I guess many of you didn't know about this.

The weather in Cupertino is the best in US. I heard that during May~December it doesn't rain. I think I am really lucky to have a chance to experience my internship in this environment.

To summarize, I am in such a good place!



(2) I saw Steve! Lot's of people at Valley Fair Store now for getting I-Phone 4!

At my first day, I was having lunch at the CafeMac. There I saw Steve! He was standing just in front of me to get some food, wearing the same clothes such as black turtle neck and jeans.

Tomorrow, people are going to get their pre-ordered I-Phone 4. Some of the interns including my roommate are going to get them. In the left is the picture one of the intern took today. Since Apple's security is very tight, I cannot explain in detail, but I-Phone 4 is a great product. I had a chance to look at it during my one-on-one introduction meeting. You should also try to get one!




(3) Projects going on. Intern events. Ross Bay Area alumni club.

As I said at my first blog, I am working in an operations department. I have several projects to finish for this summer, and am in process of narrowing down the scope of project with my boss. Unfortunately, this is all I can tell you about the project. APPLE'S SECURITY IS THE BEST. ALSO APPLE'S OPERATIONS IS BY FAR THE BEST. (Actually, I heard that Apple was selected the best company for operations)

I see that there are about 50 MBA interns here this summer. Interns are from a variety of schools, but mostly Top 10 + West-Coast based schools. Apple hosts many events for intern such as Happy Hour, Welcome Dinner(This is going on now!), San Francisco trip, Winery trip and so on. So I can enjoy my work but also enjoy gathering with other interns and finding out new things here.

I also have a Ross Bay Area event tomorrow. I will definitely participate and meet our alumni working at the Bay Area.

This seems to be all for today. I hope I can give you more exciting stories with some exciting pictures!
