The data shows that Apple employees stay a median of 4.9 years, placing the company among the top tech employers for retention. Here are key findings from the report:

  • Apple’s median employee tenure is 4.9 years, ranking 5th among tech giants.
  • Intel (7.2 years), IBM (6.1), and Microsoft (5.3) lead overall for employee retention.
  • Apple outperforms several major tech brands like Google (4.8 years), Netflix (4 years), Meta (3.6), and Amazon (3.5).
  • Across the tech companies analyzed, the average employee tenure is 4.4 years.
