Apple, Facebook, Google and the rest of Silicon Valley may be under pressure from consumers and lawmakers, but tech employees apparently see a different side of chief executives. Apple CEO Tim Cook and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg landed on Glassdoor's 2019 list of the top CEOs in the US. They're the only two executives to have made the list every year.
Glassdoor, one of the world's largest job and recruiting sites, released its annual Top 100 CEOs list on Tuesday, the main component of its yearly Employees' Choice Awards.
Nearly 30 CEOs from the tech industry made this year's list. Cook moved higher on the list, from No. 96 to No. 69, and Zuckerberg fell from the No. 16 spot in 2018 to No. 55 this year. Microsoft's Satya Nadella and Google's Sundar Pichai also landed on the list, at No. 6 and No. 46, respectively. Pat Gelsinger, CEO of VMware (No. 78 in 2018) ousted Eric Yuan, Zoom Video Communications CEO, from the No. 1 spot.
Who makes the list and how it's compiled is determined by anonymous employee reviews and an algorithm that examines the quantity, quality and consistency of reviews during the eligibility time frame.
