Poor Executives and Culture in IS&T
Poor Executives and Culture in IS&T
- Lots of opportunities to try new things, like a startup.
- Great for going through the motions and earning money.
- Behaves like a startup in most teams.
- Each employee is responsible for roughly one project alone. They have to pitch it for support and executive funding (and continued job security).
- Culture is cutthroat and up for your interpretation. You have to put in a lot of work to find ways of fitting in. This revolves around generating more profits for Apple.
- Poor planning on the management side for employees, like career growth and opportunities.
- Benefits are for show. Wanting to pursue them in IS&T is close to impossible and political.
- There is a very transactional mindset within the job.
- Work gets very tough, and there isn't a specific structure of support.
- People from the software engineering side of Apple behave as though they are "better".
- Try to build a community at the workplace that percolates all divisions.
- A segregated culture leads to a transactional work environment.
