How Comparably ranked these CEOs

Comparably publishes different rankings throughout the year highlighting highly rated companies and CEOs according to employees who answered different questions on the site. The latest list in its award lineup for the final quarter of the year is all about the best CEOs.

"Five years ago we started recognizing the Best CEOs based on real employee feedback on Comparably," Jason Nazar, Comparably co-founder and CEO, told Insider in an email. "It's amazing to see the incredible set of leaders that have built world class organizations for their teams."

According to Comparably, Tim Cook, Sundar Pichai, and Satya Nadella have made the list five times. Adobe's Shantanu Narayen ranked at the very top of this year's list for large companies, or companies with over 500 employees.

"They not only possess strong leadership skills that drive business objectives, they are transparent and invest just as much in workplace culture as they do in the growth of their organizations," Nazar said.

The ranking is based on anonymous employee responses on the company review site. Answers to questions regarding CEOs were collected over 12 months, starting on November 26, 2020.

All the above industries and quotes were shared with Insider. The full CEO lists for large companies, as well as small and midsize companies, are on Comparably.
