Glassdoor has released its 100 Best Places to Work report of 2023, but, for the first time in over a decade, Apple is absent from the list. Last year, Apple was ranked at #56 after being ranked #31 in 2021.
To determine the list, Glassdoor analyzed anonymous reviews posted by employees on the platform. They considered “hundreds of thousands” of companies with 1,000 or more employees between October 19, 2021, and October 17, 2022. The winners were ranked on their overall Glassdoor rating achieved using a 5-point scale: 1.0 being very dissatisfied and 5.0 being very satisfied.
Daniel Zhao, a lead economist at Glassdoor, says Apple’s absence from this year’s list is “pretty striking.”
“Apple has been on the list for the last 15 years, since the list’s inception,” Zhao tells CNBC Make It. “In the last year for Apple, the return to office push has been met with mixed responses from employees.”
MacDailyNews Take: It’s been all downhill for Apple on this list since hitting #20 in 2011, the year Steve Jobs died.

Sadly unsurprising. The retail experience that Jobs founded was very different to Cook’s. Mac Geniuses used to live up to their names. Now, it’s just a graduate with an iPad.
Not refuting or defending whether Apple is a good place to work at, but Glassdoor review methods seem superficial. If you read their methodology for a company of 1000 employees or more – “At least 75 ratings across the nine workplace attributes from U.S.-based employees”. Hard to see how that low number can be basis for any valid conclusions and these are not randomly selected, but are reviews people submit. Glassdoor has a “give to get” policy which means in order to obtain access to information on their site, you must submit a piece of content based on personal experience at a company. So you are unhappy at your job and looking for a new place, are you likely to give a good review?
Not only the lose of S. Jobs, but also when Ron Johnson left things started to change. Also something to consider was that when Apple retail first opened there were far fewer products to help with.
Best news ever. Glassdoor is where all the losers of this earth go to whine and bitch. They are the 75% that were fired from Twitter and Twitter is doing just great without them. The worse that a company does on glass door, the better it’s run.
I’ll say it… go woke, go broke. Apple’s corporate offices (and stores) are run by woke employees who are busy challenging each other to be increasingly woke. Employees believe ‘holding corporate accountable’ is noble regardless of how destructive it is to the very employer who writes their check. For example, look at the folks presenting and speaking in the Keynote addresses. They aren’t Apple’s rising stars. In some cases, they aren’t even good at public speaking. But, they’re employees who check a box as Apple Executives scramble to try and satisfy the work mob. Unfortunately, time and again we see that once you pander to the woke mob, you become hostage to the woke mob. Stand up against the absurd woke agenda and it will end.
