I’m not sure about the methodology here… Apple has a huge retail workforce that almost certainly plays a role.

ETA: Sort of analogous to Amazon’s warehouse workforce.

I couldn’t find it in the source, but I assume they’re only counting people who _have_ left these companies? Otherwise growing companies with a higher percentage of newer employees would be heavily penalized.

Even discounting the warehouse staff, my general impression is that Amazon is one of the harder FAANGs to work at. People I know who went there mostly didn't last terribly long. The few that did stay all got out of the AWS org very quickly..

Re: Apple, I have a similar but less extreme impression of their engineering org.. but don't know anyone there/from there.

Notice for example MSFT doesn't show up as a high churn shop.

Yeah, “growing”, but they’re kind of filtering by growth because they looked at top 100 by market cap
