Tech giants have long been considered the companies to work for all over the world, and according to a recent survey, this is the case in the United Kingdom too.

Only that this time, Apple is the only big name making the top 20, with rivals like Google, Microsoft, Facebook or Amazon nowhere to be seen.

The survey was conducted by recruitment website Indeed, who found that Apple continues to be the top company to work for in the country, followed by Wren Kitchens and GlaxoSmithKline. Famous names like Rolls Royce, Marks and Spencer, BBC, and Liverpool FC are also among the top 20.

According to the survey, Apple is one of the companies that have always made it to the top of the charts in terms of employment rating. It has more than 6,500 workers in the United Kingdom.

Google said to top charts in different research

On the other hand, data provided by Glassdoor, which is currently considered one of the most reliable sources in terms of employment reviews, puts Apple on position 84th when it comes to the best places to work in 2018.

The best place Apple has reached in Glassdoor’s rankings was the 10th position back in 2012. At the same time, Tim Cook was ranked the 53rd top CEO worldwide in 2017, dropping from the 8th place the year before.

Glassdoor says the best place to work for in the United Kingdom is search company Google, followed by Anglian Water, Bromford, Facebook, and Salesforce. Apple is far behind on the 9th place.

Apple is the world’s most valuable company after previously reaching a record $1 trillion market cap. Other tech giants are also expected to follow in its footsteps, with Microsoft, Google’s parent company Alphabet and Amazon also likely to exceed $1 trillion in market valuation in the coming years.
