    LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft, so there's the reason.  ;) 
    And yet MS isn't even in the list of 50 companies? It's almost as if MS created this list honestly and fairly based on statistical data.
     :)

    Perfect troll fodder. Thanks AI! Okay, haters, let’s hear all the reasons for the “drop” and how Apple is no longer fit to work for. 
    That is a binarist, somewhat childish assumption in a 100k+ corp. It very much depends on where, and under what regime/circumstances. I can imagine that as a shop employee, in logistics, marketing, provisioning... you can have a great, even lifetime employment. But then, e.g. as a young designer, it must be quite frustrating to see so many pilots for new designs being denied higher up on the corporate ladder, looking at the pace of development now. Imagine what it must be in 2019, to see that the company returns to the iPad (Mini) design of 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 with homebutton/huge bezels etc. that you just had innovated away. Same for several innovative/IT/high tech positions. Imagine 10k patents on the shelf not being pursued or products being denied somewhere during the development cycle - including the one you worked on... Imagine as a design engineer, finding out that the development hurdles for creating a modular Mac Pro are being solved in a week/month or so in small tech companies on Chinese streetcorners. Try to think by yourself - working in a 132k employee company will undoubtedly result in many happy minds but an incumbent (i.e. merely defensive) strategy does not always appeal to the mere creative minds. Which has more to do with a giant global company than with trolling - but you’re welcome to think otherwise.
    Bahahahah... Yes, generic PC clones on chinese street corners are the same as Mac Pros. Same use cases, designs, and solutions. Good one, thanks for he laugh. Stay thirsty, my friend!
    I’ve built a couple of Hackintosh that run faster and at a cheaper price than Mac Pros. I’m sorry but Macs are overpriced, and nowhere near as useful as a PC that runs Windows. Stay delusional, my friend.
    Then why are you here?
    I’m sorry but this forum isn’t only for those whose head is deep inside Apple’s colon. I’ve got plenty of Apple and non-Apple devices, and I will post my opinion as I see fit.

    Maybe a LinkedIn employee perk will be the ability to keep Microsoft Ebook material that one had purchased.  .

    They should drop even further. The internal culture there is horrendous with too many cliques and too many people that you have to blow to get ahead. God forbid if you want to love to another department and your then-current boss resents your desire for different opportunities, or having a boss that doesn't understand the nature of your job despite how he's supposed to be managing your department and should at least have a small level of knowledge regarding the issues being dealt with. And this isn't just a small part of the company.

    Everything I've read shows you can't build a Mac Pro as a Hackintosh for less than the cost of the Mac Pro if you use parts that are equally powerful, calling your homemade box a Mac Pro does not make it one dude. Regarding your derogatory remark about Apple users,  I use high-end PCs (Xeons and i7s, 32 GB RAM, NVidia1080, etc) and many Macs including a 12 core 32 GB Mac Pro and would not agree with your assessment as to 'usefulness'.  It's horses for courses, I use whichever machine is best for a particular job, but then, of course, I am not using Hackintoshes only genuine Macs with the latest OS.  Perhaps you are not in a position to judge absent a real Mac Pro and your opinions although seeming 'fit' to you, seem pretty worthless to me, but then that's just my opinion that I am entitled to.
