CEOs set the tone for a corporation, and there's a lot of pressure for them to please both employees and shareholders.
It's a tough job, which is why most CEOs don't keep their jobs for more than a few years.
We reached out to ratings site Glassdoor.com for a list of the 10 most-liked CEOs in New York based on employee reviews, which they compiled exclusively for Business Insider.
Note that not all of the companies are headquartered in New York, but the CEOs work in the metro area.
10. Lloyd C. Blankfein, Goldman Sachs
Approval Rating: 88%
CEO Tenure: 2006 - present
Blankfein is one of the only Wall Street CEOs to keep his job post-crisis.
He grew up in a working-class family in Brooklyn and earned his law degree from Harvard before starting his career at the now defunct white-shoe firm Donovan, Leisure, Newton & Irvine.
In 1981 he joined Goldman's commodities trading arm as a precious metals salesman in the London office.
It's rumored that he may leave his post this summer. Last year he made $16.1 million in total compensation.
