Glassdoor has released its list of the 50 highest rated CEOs based on employee votes from workers at the companies. Bob Bechek, the chief executive officer of consultancy Bain, ranked first.

Three other consulting firm CEOs were near the top of the list: Dominic Barton of McKinsey ranked third. KMPG CEO John B. Veihmeyer ranked 13th. Mark Weinberger of EY ranked 14th.

The list was dominated by tech firms, with the Ultimate Software CEO Scott Scherr in second place, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB) in fourth place, Jeff Weiner of LinkedIn Corp. (NYSE: LNKD) in fifth, Marc Benioff of SalesForce.com Inc. (NYSE: CRM) in sixth place, Sundar Picha of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL) division Google in seventh and Tim Cook of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) in eighth.

Methology: Glassdoor, the world’s most transparent jobs and recruiting marketplace, has announced the winners of its annual Employees’ Choice Awards honoring the highest rated CEOs in 2016 across North America and parts of Europe. Unlike any other workplace awards, the Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Awards are based solely on the input of employees who voluntarily provide anonymous feedback, by completing a company review, on whether they approve or disapprove of their CEO, along with insight into their job, work environment and employer over the past year.
