When it comes to mentions of competitors among these three respective mobile manufacturers in the reviews at Glassdoor, we found that Apple is the only company of the three where employers don’t mention the competition.

We found that in the Nokia reviews, employees mentioned both Apple and RIM. Whereas RIM employees, only express concern over Apple.
