- billmcneale 15y agoApple hasn't been in the top 100 companies to work for in the past five years (probably goes back further), so... no. Several friends of mine confirm this: they're not treated very well nor recognized, they work 70 hours a week, but they love it. Obviously, it's not for everyone, you need to love the company to work there.
- czhiddy 15y agoFrom what I've read, Apple has never participated in those "top workplace" surveys, so saying they've never made the top 100 is a useless statement at best. glassdoor.com satisfaction surveys place them somewhere between Intel and Google, but a lot of the reviews come from retail employees. I'd be curious to see what the average score is for corporate employees.
- danssig 15y ago>Apple has never participated in those "top workplace" surveys Which is sensible IMO. I worked at Walmart in IT at the time that they scored quite highly on one of those things. I couldn't name a single person who loved or even liked their job. Everyone I knew was there because they didn't feel they had a choice. I've never looked at one those surveys since then.

- Tyrannosaurs 15y agoI think it's a good example of technologists wanting to be involved in great projects and products that end up getting used and making a difference. I doubt anyone there is badly paid but that's not the reason they work there - they do so because they know that most other places would struggle to give them work they could be as proud of.
