Zuck the
This is a pretty interesting bit of info, though we'd like to know a bit more on how much data it is built on, but Glassdoor has posted its annual list of the 50 highest rated CEOs. This year, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg took the top spot as the "most liked" CEO, Google's Larry Page came in 11th, and Apple's Tim Cook took a big dive ending up in 18th place. What is especially interesting about this list is that it is using only "employee feedback shared during the past year", so these are the CEOs that are most liked by their own employees. 

Mark Zuckerberg actually shares the top spot with the co-CEOs from SAP who also had 99% approval ratings from employees. This is a huge jump for Zuck, who didn't even make the list last year (although last year was only the top 25). Google's Larry Page actually saw his approval rating go up from 94% last year to 95% this year, but he dropped from 5th place last year to 11th this year. But, the big drop was Apple's Tim Cook, who was number one on the list last year with a 97% approval rating, and is down to 93% and 18th place this year. 

Other notable names on the list were: Qualcomm's Paul Jacobs at #8, NVIDIA's Jen-Hsun Huang at #16, Amazon's Jeff Bezos at #17, Intel's Paul S. Otellini at #21, and Broadcom's Scott McGregor at #45.

Waiting for the least liked list to see where Steve Ballmer stands.

Having the most likes on Facebook doesn't mean Zuckerberg is the most liked. Smh lol

I thought if more people like than anyone else you are the most liked, no?

Hey Zuckerberg how about you make the facebook app as user friendly as it is on the actual internet because theres alot of stuff id like to do to my facebook page but tcant since im using a mobile device. kinda reminds me of iPhones. Yes your a genious and you created a website that i hated until 2010 and then was forced to like facebook because myspace started sucking at that point. I miss "poke" on facebook, whats all this bs with "like"

Why isn't samsungs CEO number one? He's much better than zuckerberg.

3. rgxVOiD posted on 16 Mar 2013, 01:45 10 2

Because there are 3 of them.

6. nobelset posted on 16 Mar 2013, 02:26 3

Your top 3 right there. Just iPhonearena hard at work slandering us Samsung fans.

This site is biased towards Apple and Samsung only and it clearly shows. Don't call it iphone arena only because you can also call it SamdungArena :)

SII SIII S4 all are great :D

20. corporateJP posted on 16 Mar 2013, 13:38 2 1

I own an S3 and love it, but I will sell my soul to NOBODY.

You guys and your fandom...SMH.

All these companies have flaws, especially the bigger one's.

Get over it.

Name one Samsung flaw. None. Plastic isn't a flaw, it survives a fall way better than soda can aluminum.

4. MartianMe posted on 16 Mar 2013, 02:10 1 1

Haha that's right there are 3 of them now aha :D

5. xperiaDROID posted on 16 Mar 2013, 02:11 3 1

Lol where is Stephen Elop? xD

7. sanjeet.13 posted on 16 Mar 2013, 03:21 3

He was probably cleaning his windows when dis was goin on. . lol. .

21. corporateJP posted on 16 Mar 2013, 13:41 1

This guy still has a serious security detail when he leaves work every day.

He's not very popular in the Nordic Belt, that's for sure.

Fears the Vikings, I guess.

Want to know why because Zuckerberg is always in the news somewhere, and heck he even had a movie about himself.

That's not knocking him just saying Larry Page and Sergey Brin never had that cause if they did probably end up #1 forever for all we know.

I mean come on go and ask people who these two are, and possibly 1 out of every 30 might tell you.

Edit: I didn't even know who they were till my senior year in high school economics class had to do research paper on them.

You do have a point. I thought about that one time when they showed a pic of Brin on the subway wearing Google Glass. I wondered how many on the train even knew who he was.

I'm surprised about Tim Cook. I thought Apple CEO's would be ranked high by default. Is this really a shift in popularity for Apple?

27. N.Reynolds posted on 17 Mar 2013, 16:22

It is feedback from their own employees. I hope most people know who the CEO is of their employer.

11. Desmund posted on 16 Mar 2013, 07:59 2

Shocked myself as well, and I think I remember the Google Glass photo you're talking about. Page and Brin remind me of Bill Gates you might think u see him somewhere, but you'll never know cause he looks so plain and average basically average joe.

Apple's kingdom is slowly crumbling, starting with the CEO.
