Apple ranks sixth in LinkedIn’s ‘Top Companies 2018’ list

Apple ranks sixth in LinkedIn’s “Top Companies 2018” list of the places where professionals most want to work in the U.S. LinkedIn is a business- and employment-oriented service.

It’s based on the actions of LinkedIn’s more than 546 million professionals and looks at four main pillars: interest in the company, engagement with the company’s employees, job demand and employee retention. The top 10 list includes: Amazon, Alphabet, Facebook, Salesforce, Tesla, Apple, Comcast/NBC Universal, The Walt Disney Company, Oracle, and Netflix.

Here’s what LinkedIn has to say about Apple: “Every launch provides new opportunities for fans and competitors to question whether the world’s most valuable brand can keep up the magic. Last year’s $1,000 iPhone X won accolades for its TrueDepth camera but also prompted questions about its price. To better compete with rivals, Apple has been expanding its engineering and IT headcount, which are up 8% and 4% in 2017, respectively, according to LinkedIn data.”
