Your comment might make sense in a completely different context, but this is Apple! Everyone there could be making more money for less stress somewhere else, but they’re at Apple since they believe in or appreciate something else about the company, whether that’s the vision, the colleagues, the hard problems, etc. Apple is probably the number one company where your comment is not true.

As a former Apple employee, I disagree that Apple is that different- YMMV depending on the group of course, but there are people who are overworked and underpaid drinking the kool-aid, and there are plenty of people underworking who wouldn't be able to get a similar job at a big company. I do agree that they tend to compensate you in brand value/equity instead of top of market salaries though :D

Strange.

I will grant you the less stress but Apple opened a new site near one of my company's offices and we have lost quite a few people over the last year to them. Everyone has said they are offering a substantial raise and huge amount of stock.

True but my point was more than you will find every CEO that forces people to come back make a similar statement.

Also - Apple is a large company. Not everybody there is working on the next big thing. I'm sure there are plenty of people doing their job at Apple for money alone like anywhere else.

Less stress probably, but don’t they pay pretty well?

Software pays less than other FAANGs but there also aren’t constant exec sex scandals like other FAANGs. CPUs pay slightly better than other places.

[easton]

Why are there less sex scandals?

[astrange]

Think the question is why Google has more.

[winrid]

It's the googlyness

Not compared to peer companies. If you’re already at Apple, you could probably get a job at Google with way less stress and more pay.
