These two top companies are led by women CEOs, despite only 6% of CEOs worldwide being women, and retained their ranking from the year before.
“The leadership team always gives equal chances to the team members.
There is no partiality or favoritism. The forum is open for suggestions,
feedback, and discussion from the stakeholders,” Comparably quoted one Elsevier employee as saying.
Despite positive employee ratings, women CEOs tend to leave their positions at higher rates than men, according to a recent report from Challenger, Gray, & Christmas, which looked at monthly data between January and February 2025. According to the report, 54% of women CEOs who left their position that month were replaced by men, and the rate of new women CEOs declined from 26% to 23%.
Among the top 25 companies featured in the ranking, more than half are based in California and New York, with 10 companies across the Golden State, four in New York City, and one in upstate New York.
The ranking is the result of millions of reviews by employees who anonymously rated their direct managers, C-suite executives, and CEOs over a 12-month period. This year’s list was compiled with over 15 million ratings from 70,000 American and Canadian companies.
