Apple - Non-tech & culture (services & App Store)

Dec 27, 2021 9 Comments

Wanted to hear current/previous Apple people’s thoughts on the culture / wlb at Apple for non-tech teams - FP&A and also for business planning. Is Business Planning a strategy role? Is services and/or App Store a priority for the company?

    Tech work environment and culture sucks. If someone has options shouldn’t work for Apple. They make good products but doesn’t train managers to be leader, managers are just boss.

    So what you’ll learn from this thread is that managers can vary greatly and employee opinion can vary. On the technical side I’m finding my department at least to be very agile and embracing of creativity. If we want to work on some thing we don’t have to get permission as long as we finish our main objectives. I get the impression that it’s very much the same on the non-technical side. People are always taking initiatives to innovate because the culture embraces individualism and accountability for your own growth. I’ve had three managers this year between team managers and pm. All we’re fantastic people and leaders that looked out for me and my colleagues. I feel like the technical side of things and business side are weighed evenly. I will say this, you won’t be bored at Apple. Most companies, even start ups I’ve felt like a cog and here I always feel an incredible amount responsibility and growth without ever having to surpass a 40-45 hour workweek. Apples large so I won’t pretend my experience matches other teams in other orgs but Im enjoying it here
