Undoubtedly, Apple is now the world’s most valuable company in terms of market capitalization. More importantly, the company has created a strong brand impression among customers, and this is the main reason why it shipped 3 million units of new iPad within three days of its launch in March this year.

However, Microsoft succeeded to make its presence among the best 5 places for employees to work. Astoundingly, of these 25 companies, the world’s most valuable company (Apple) is nowhere. However, the world’s best brand—Coca-Cola—succeeded to make its presence in the list, and it succeeded to hold 21st position among the 25 best places to work.
Interestingly, out of 25 listed companies, more than two-third (20 companies) are U.S.-based and three are from Silicon Valley—Google, Cisco and NetApp.
More importantly, despite of being the world’s most valuable company, Apple’s employees are not as much satisfied as Google and Microsoft’s employees are. Ironically, Steve Jobs never cared its employees and shareholders, but the scenario is changing under Tim’s umbrella.
