Having worked in the corporate world, I can say without a doubt that at times and for many people,it's hell on earth. I was one of those people.So if I was interviewed, I might say that about any company. Corporate life is NOT for me. Apple is not immune to disgruntled workers, and the fact that it's percieved as some kind of "Mothership" belittles the fact they are still a multi-national company run by humans. So my point I guess I have to eventually get to (!) Is that anecdotal evidence, and not an exaustive study, is worse than pointless. Any company is as good as the sum of their parts, and Apple has plenty of good parts. I worked for Johnson and Johnson. WORST run plant I have EVER seen. But the company? Overall rated as one of the best companies to work for because of extreme efforts to help their emplyees, like with free day-care and superb health coverage. That hellish job bought my house and paid $50,000.00 to have my daughter born, while I paid a total of $200.00. I will always be grateful to them. Throw the blogs and the posts of former Apple workers in the trash.
