Does LinkedIn still steal your contacts from your computer when you blithely give them access? And then they send email to all those contacts as though the emails had come from you? I had to reset my filters to send such emails directly to the Trash.No, Microsoft owns LinkedIn.
[doublepost=1521643773][/doublepost]People need to take this list with a grain of salt. LinkedIn is really a job board. The list is a compilation of how many people looked at job postings.
Those who complain do so vociferously, and those complaints are what get into the "news"; not the satisfied employee comments.Be careful about reading those sensational media screeds about how overworked Amazon employees are in the warehouses and how they are treated like slaves. The reality is quite different it appears. And just where do you get your information about Tesla and Space X? Are you a Musk hater?

Oops, you’re right. My bad. Okay, then where the fsck is Microsoft?
Facebook is the devil incarnate
Apple is ranked sixth on LinkedIn's annual list of the top 50 companies where professionals most want to work in the United States.
![]()
Apple moved up one spot after ranking seventh in 2017. The top five spots belong to Amazon, Alphabet, Facebook, Salesforce, and Tesla, while NBCUniversal, The Walt Disney Company, Oracle, and Netflix round off the top ten.
LinkedIn says the list is based on billions of data points generated by over 546 million users on the site, with four areas of focus: interest in the company, engagement with the company's employees, job demand, and employee retention.
Job demand: At what rate are people viewing and applying to job postings, including paid listings, unpaid ones and those linked from other sites?
Engagement with the company: How many professionals are viewing a company's career page? How many new followers has the company attracted?
Interest in its employees: How many non-employees are viewing and asking to connect with a company's employees?
[*]Retention: Are employees sticking around for at least a year?
It's worth noting that many different lists are published each year, and the results can often vary significantly. In December, for example, Apple ranked 84th on Glassdoor's annual list of the best companies to work at in the United States.

Be careful about reading those sensational media screeds about how overworked Amazon employees are in the warehouses and how they are treated like slaves. The reality is quite different it appears.
An employee at the Amazon fulfillment center in Plainfield is alleging that the facility hasn’t had any heat since Thanksgiving.
"They keep telling everyone they’re going to fix it," said the woman, who wants to remain anonymous, "it has not been fixed.”
The employee has asked to remain anonymous fearing her job security. However, she said after weeks of getting nowhere with the company’s higher-ups, she’s hoping we can get some answers as to why she claims there has been no heat here for weeks.
Tesla has a religious fan base, in and outside of their workforce, that will blindly praise anything about them.
Amazon and facebook? of course, of course ....

Have you worked for both?
They have hired people we’ve fired. We always jokingly call Apple the ‘Tesla Graveyard.’ If you don’t make it at Tesla, you go work at Apple. I’m not kidding.
Have you?
Funny thing is I know many people in who have worked at Amazon in various roles... *all* of them have the same advice... never work for Amazon, it's a terrible employer and environment to work at
And FOR is a preposition … at the end of the sentence … hmm.Why should we read the "news" submitted by people SO ill-edcuated as to not even have a BASIC GRASP of fundamental grammar? Slow down, it's not typing race; your "news" is not THAT (or at all) unmissable that you need to rattle it off, speed typing.
Incorrect grammar, missing word: "Apple Rises to Sixth in LinkedIn's 2018 List of Top Companies to Work"
Correct grammar: "Apple Rises to Sixth in LinkedIn's 2018 List of Top Companies to Work FOR"
A toddler could write more meaningful "news" than you lot.
One of my friends works for Amazon Europe and Google fired James Damore for truth. I have all the information. I'm not saying it is better to work for Apple, but those 2 shouldn't be in those places.I didn’t make a comment regarding Amazon and Facebook, you did. Hence my question.
And FOR is a preposition … at the end of the sentence … hmm.
(Hello, mods!)
I have multiple friends who work at Amazon, and have talked with a couple of Amazon managers who have all said the same thing. The take-away for me is if you like the sensation of having your balls caught in a rat trap, work at Amazon.Funny thing is I know many people in who have worked at Amazon in various roles... *all* of them have the same advice... never work for Amazon, it's a terrible employer and environment to work at
