It's a very hackerly culture (in some ways still living off the inheritance of Woz), but you won't ever hear about that for two reasons:
1. Secrecy is part of the culture.
2. Engineers work hard at Apple, and many teams are surprisingly small. There are no 20% projects at Apple because nobody has the time.

- mortenjorck 16y agoMost Googlers I've talked to call it the 120% project.
- patrickk 16y agoIt's very corporate where I work (not in Cupertino, so no surprise). But everyone I've come across works very hard, not just engineers. And I couldn't agree more about no-one having any time, many people bring their MacBooks home and continue sending emails late into the evening (GMT) to people in HQ in Cupertino (who are eight hours behind). EDIT: Going on the Apple jobs listing for Cupertino, there is plenty of openings for engineers. http://jobs.apple.com/index.ajs?BID=1&method=mExternal.searchJobs http://jobs.apple.com/index.ajs?BID=1&method=mExternal.s...
