People don't work at Apple for the pay.

They work at Apple because they love the products, culture and people. Sure pay is a factor in the decision but I think the type of people who work at apple work their mainly because they believe in what Apple stands for. Challenging the status quo by thinking differently.

So, they work for free?

[daniellicht]

For Apple people usually want compensation but I think compensation is not the main reason they work there.

Charities get people to work for free because those people believe in the cause the charity stands for. People will take a job at Apple with less pay then another offer because they believe in what Apple stands for.
