Criticism of Process
None of the winners of the first six adult series stayed with Sugar's companies for longer than three years and many stayed only a matter of weeks. In this light The Apprentice has been criticised as "an entertainment show with no real aspect of business to it".
The winner of series six, Stella English described the job as a "sham", but later lost a case of constructive dismissal against Lord Sugar, with the tribunal judge John Warren saying that "Ms English, instead of appreciating a job with enormous scope for advancement, had been more interested in a glamorous role, and travelling in private jets".

Famous quotes containing the words criticism and/or process:
“The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art—and, by analogy, our own experience—more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“At the heart of the educational process lies the child. No advances in policy, no acquisition of new equipment have their desired effect unless they are in harmony with the child, unless they are fundamentally acceptable to him.”
—Central Advisory Council for Education. Children and Their Primary Schools (Plowden Report)
