      Methodology<\/b>
      \nComparably\u2019s “Best Of” lists are derived from sentiment ratings provided by employees who anonymously rated their employers on Comparably.com during the 2017 eligibility period (1\/1\/17\u2013 11\/17\/17). There were no fees or costs associated with participating, nor was nomination required. Large companies are considered organizations with more than 500 employees whereas small\/mid-size are businesses\u00a0with less than 500 employees. The CEOs are ranked in stack order, with #1 representing the highest scored CEO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
