LinkedIn is an echo chamber just as the companies that are popular with them.
"Liberal" mass-hypnosis.
Q.
"Liberal" mass-hypnosis.
Q.
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.

Those who complain do so vociferously, and those complaints are what get into the "news"; not the satisfied employee comments.
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.

Have you worked for both?
If an app asks to access something I think they do not need I don't install it. I don't give any app other than my email client (Outlook) access to my contacts.
Not anymore. I would say peak Apple sheep was 2010, people seem to get more critical of them lately.
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.

A toddler could write more meaningful "news" than you lot.

I didn’t make a comment regarding Amazon and Facebook, you did. Hence my question.
But this doesn’t tell the readers anything based off your post. Can you expand on on why Amazon would be a “Terrible employer and environment to work at”?
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 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.
interesting tesla is in there, one of the CFO's just left because she didn't like it and was underpaid. Its a VERY young underpaid work force. But to each their own.
Tech giants like Apple, Facebook, Google etc.. spend a huge amount of money through advertising and the like to give off the appearance of being surf boarding, laid back, sandal wearing hipster types. The reality I am quite certain is the absolute opposite.
Being a successful company (or in this list, desirable) doesn't make you a great company to work for. Quite the opposite in fact in my experience as the resource supply / demand is massively out of balance. This inevitably results in lower pay and longer hours for non-board level types, and a poor work environment.
I've not worked for Apple but imagine that they are just as bureaucratic, top heavy with management and handicapped by internal politics as all of the bluechips I have worked at have been.
I mean seriously, does anyone here truly believe that Apple is a fun place to work? Would make for a nice dream I suppose.
