Apple has consistently managed to stay
in the good books of employees despite
having the reputation of being
“slightly” ruthless in its corporate
culture. On its career site, Apple boasts,
“A job at Apple is unlike any other
you’ve had.
You’ll be challenged. You’ll be inspired. And you’ll be
proud. Because whatever your job is here, you’ll be
part of something big…Amaze yourself. Amaze the
world.”

offering by the HR at
