Meta hired Alan Dye from Apple; design leadership is collaborative, and Apple's new "Liquid Glass" UI faces controversy pending user feedback and time.
Apple just lost a top design talent. Meta has hired Alan Dye, who was the head of Apple's human interface design team. The company is filling his position with Stephen Lemay, who CEO Tim Cook told Bloomberg "has played a key role in the design of every major Apple interface since 1999." Before being poached by Meta to become its chief design officer, Dye worked at Apple since 2006, where he oversaw projects including Liquid Glass and Vision Pro.
New graduates are leaving college and heading into a tough labor market-entry-level roles are dwindling, managers are wary of hiring Gen Z candidates, and AI continues to automate more jobs. But Meta is actively on the hunt for fresh talent, and it's willing to pay the big bucks for the brightest young minds. The $1.8 trillion technology company has a few entry-level jobs on the market: a Full-stack software engineer, and multiple product software engineer roles.
