Apple may be worse than others.. but also know that people move around, and bring a part of their old culture to the new team. If they're in a senior position, and they have a bias towards people from their old employer while hiring, they could start hiring people from the ex-employer. Mix that in with a fast growing team, and now there is a risk of a subset of the company acting like they're at the old company.
FWIW, I have heard these types of stories before too, and they are definitely NOT unique to Apple.
- exBarrelSpoiler 5y agoWell, after Google purchased Nest, there were all of those tales about the difficulties of integrating that startup into the parent company. Tony Fadell founded Nest, and he brought Apple's culture into it, and that style definitely did not gel with Google's more laidback environment.
- deadmutex 5y agoFWIW, the people at Nest have been the nicest people I have worked with during my career. Many of them were ex-Apple. I did not work under Tony though, so can't comment on that. I also remember the comments from the ex-Dropcam team... And I tried to find out what happened there, but never fully found out.
