- Monsanto Co. continues to add to its growing list of 2015 awards with the company's chairman and CEO Hugh Grant being recognized as a Glassdoor Highest Rated CEO.
- Grant earned his No. 6 position after receiving a 95% approval rating from the anonymous and voluntary reviews Monsanto employees shared via Glassdoor over the past year.
- According to the press release, "Earlier this year, Monsanto was named number 39 on Glassdoor’s 2015 list of the 50 Best Places to Work. In 2014, the company was number 10 on Glassdoor’s list of Top Companies for Compensation and Benefits."
Dive Insight:
Monsanto could use a little good news after its second bid for Syngenta AG was rebuffed earlier this week. Besides coming up on the price, Monsanto tried other ways to make its bid seem more attractive to Syngenta, but Syngenta won't budge — at least for now.
Monsanto also earned the #52 spot on the 2015 Newsweek Green Rankings.
