The California-based manufacturer opened its first European store in London 15 years ago, and it now employs 2,500 people in the capital alone. Its 6,500 UK-based staff praise generous benefits packages in reviews of Apple posted on Indeed.

The highest scoring homegrown tech company was second-placed GDS Group, a Bristol-based event, research and technology services provider.

Cisco came third in the ranking, which was dominated by American tech firms. Just three of the top 15 are UK-based companies.

Last year, Apple secured the top spot in Indeed’s overall ranking of Britain’s most highly-praised employers. Good rates of pay, the offer of free or discounted tech to employees, health and wellness benefits and an enjoyable workplace culture are said to contribute to the company’s positive internal reputation.

Bill Richards, UK managing director at Indeed, comments: “While staff clearly value a good salary, other factors like work-life balance, career prospects and a friendly, welcoming culture are just as important.”

After Apple, GDS and Cisco, the remainder of the top 10 comprised Microsoft, Siemens, Ricoh, Oracle, Fujitsu, IBM and RS Components.
