I wonder how apples current culture compares to in 1982 or 1997

  Probably a fraud just like Google.

  The whole industry has changed — not just Apple. Those were the halcyon days for software engineering. Programmers called the shots because the "users" were them. An engineer knew what features to add because it is what they wanted. Upper management could let the cowboys run a little loose because shipping software was like printing money. These days the stakes are much too high and the customer is everyone. I see this causing management to be hamstrung by accountability. To help accountability, more and more process is layered on, loose cannons weeded out.... Culture is nothing like it was two decades ago.

    Right, you can't even think about culture in terms of the company. Working for a company in an office job is wildly different than 1997.
