Apple's Collaborative Culture Apple is an incredibly collaborative company, organized like a startup. There are no committees; instead, one person is in charge of each major area such as software, hardware engineering, marketing, and operations. The top-level teamwork filters down throughout the company. Trusting each other to come through with their parts is crucial for successful teamwork.
'Ideas Over Hierarchy' Approach "If you want to hire great people and have them stay working for you," Apple believes in letting employees make decisions based on ideas rather than hierarchy. This approach ensures that the best ideas win and encourages good people to stay within the organization."
