Apple crowned Britain's best tech sector employer

Apple is the best tech sector company to work for in Britain, according to research from job site Indeed.

This was based on hundreds of thousands of reviews by employees past and present. The US tech giant opened its first European store in London 15 years ago, and it now employs 2,500 people in London alone. Its 6,500 UK-based staff enjoy a wide range of perks, and praise for these benefits features prominently in the reviews of Apple posted on Indeed.

Other retail players that made the cut include Just Eat, which took 14th spot, and Amazon, which came in at 15. “While staff clearly value a good salary, other factors like work-life balance, career prospects and a friendly, welcoming culture are just as important,” says Bill Richards, UK MD at Indeed.

“The companies at the top of our ranking scored consistently highly across all categories. Above all, they have successfully created a positive and desirable work environment, earning praise from their staff and providing an example we can all learn from.”
