What is the Breakroom Rating?

Close

We’re different from other job review sites.

Breakroom Ratings are a fair and objective measure of how good an employer is.

Instead of giving us a personal opinion of their workplace, everyone on Breakroom answers the same set of questions about their job.

This means we can measure what jobs are really like at an employer, and you can trust the Breakroom Rating to find out where’s best to work.
