Glassdoor.com – a jobs and career Web site that lets people search for positions and get salary information – has conducted its own survey to rank the top 25 highest rated CEOs for 2012. Apple CEO Tim Cook is at the top of the list with a 97 percent approval rating – two points higher than Steve Jobs got last year.

The list is based on feedback from employees of the companies where the CEO works, who answered the question, “Do you approve of the way your CEO is leading the company?” Glassdoor.com claims that 280,000 people responded this past year.

Cook beat out Ernst & Young’s Jim Turley for the top spot. Other tech execs in the top ten included Paul E. Jacobs, CEO of Qualcomm, Google’s Larry Page and VMware’s Paul Maritz.

It’s worth noting that Meg Whitman, CEO of HP, hit the top 25 list with an 80 percent rating – significantly better than her predecessors Leo Apotheker (57 percent) and Mark Hurd (34 percent). Apparently HP employees are confident she’s moving the company in the right direction.
