Don Melton, a former manager at Apple who had played a vital role in developing the popular Safari web browser for iOS devices, has once again came out and shared his experience of what really happens at the offices of California-based tech giant. His knowledge added further credence to the recent report from Ars Technica which says that ‘fake’ projects do not take place at Apple to test the loyalty of new hires. In his recent statement, Melton has once again said what he had said earlier about working in Apple that the Cupertino-based company operates like any small company that has a clear focus instead of working like a big bloated corporation like General Motors or IBM. Mentioning the reason behind working like a small company, Melton said that it helps Apple a great deal to get rid of the duplicate work problem.
In spite of it several reports have rolled in previously, which says that Apple throws in fake projects to test the loyalty of new hires. Seeing Apple working so hard to make its operations more smooth and efficient the fake project reports does not make much sense:
“Clearly, duplication of effort is not big in Cupertino. Even with two operating systems — iOS and OS X — the idea is to share technologies that make sense and keep those technologies from diverging too much. Otherwise it becomes really complicated to coordinate releases. It’s not perfect, but anyone who’s attended an Apple developer conference knows the company takes reducing even that kind of duplication seriously.”
“Which makes the idea of fake projects so ludicrous. That’s not even duplicated effort. That’s completely superfluous work. When you have a focus on efficiency like Apple, why would you waste time and resources doing that?”
On top of it, Apple deeply screens applicants for the jobs not only before hiring them, but also after appointing them, so adding further loyalty tests would be “a stupid idea” and there is a high probability that such tests would “demotivate” the new hires. To the extent the stories written about the fake projects and obsession of the press over Apple in concerned, all of it is “horseshit meant to draw flies,” according to Melton.
As he said that, “So much of what is written about Apple these days is just horseshit meant to draw flies. And it makes me sad that somebody had to clean up after that particular pile.”
