I was approached by both Apple and Facebook back in the days, and decided to join Facebook instead of Apple. Why? I like to be able to post about the research I do, and I didn't like the secrecy approach of Apple. I'm guessing that this is a big factor for more than just me when choosing a company to join, especially when you do interesting things that you want to be able to share with the world.
I remember reading that Mark Rober was at Apple (nobody knew about that!) and I just feel like that must have sucked massively for someone who loves making youtube videos to work in a place like that.
- ChatGTP 3y agoThanks so much for choosing to "bring the world closer together".
- baby 3y agoRock on! Connecting the world truly is a great mission imo
- htormey 3y agoYeah, on point observation. I worked at both companies. I left Apple to work at Facebook because I wanted to be able to participate in open source projects and talk about my work with my coworkers openly.
- azemetre 3y agoYou're banned from working on your own open source projects at Apple? Had no idea, disappointing if true. I could understand now talking about current work but if you have an open source project that's unrelated you can't publicly do anything?
