Biggest difference is tech in "non-tech" companies are seen as a cost center and thus the organization tries to always reduce cost. This results in decisions like off-shoring or out-sourcing which if not handled correctly cause loss of knowledge and capability in the organization. It has a big impact on the employee morale and work culture.

In tech companies, the developers have more freedom and responsibilities without worrying about short-term impact on company's bottom-line.
