Company has potential if it does not revert to past treatment of employees
|
|
-Coworkers are generally very helpful and kind
-Feels like a family because of its size
-Starting pay is not bad
-Bagels every friday
-Change in management that has made them more receptive to feedback
-You have the opportunity to purchase company stock
|
-Bonuses/raises are generally low
-Layoffs happen sometimes twice a year (30% reduction this year!)
-No gym, Toll Road, or other reimbursements
-NO 401K match

Here are a few clarifications you may find helpful. \r\n\r\nRegarding merit increases, Breathe has a pay-for-performance merit system. As a result, employees receive differing increases, all based on their individual performance. Top performers receive the largest increases. This aligns with best practice. \r\n\r\nRegarding layoffs, while they are never easy, they are a natural occurrence as companies transition from start-up to full commercialization. In this evolution, skilled and experienced business leaders are hired to implement new processes and efficiencies, hence delivering operational excellence . As a result, labor-intensive areas become streamlined as these new efficiencies take hold. \r\n\r\nBreathe's comprehensive benefit package of life, medical, dental, vision, and disability insurance is second to none. This is one way we are able to successfully recruit and hire new talent into the organization. While it is true we do not have a gym, we are pleased to offer employees on-site ping pong and basketball for free-time enjoyment. \r\n\r\nWe appreciate you rated Breathe with 4 out of 5 stars.

That you have the opportunity to avoid this toxic company.
|
I totally agree with most of the previous reviews that was posted on here.
Though you have the idea to make things better with justification - it is not welcome. You will get a sense that instead of collaborating with you or brainstorming your proposed idea, it will be shutdown. They feel like they are being attacked with your proposed changes because their ego is as high as a nonexisting pedestal. It is not about your idea for improvement but the person delivering it. You have to kiss the right bon bons to be even acknowledged.
There are more to list on here, but I think 5 minutes of my time to review this hell’s kitchen type of a company is not worth wasting.

They are flexible, adaptable, enjoy working with minimal supervision, take initiative to find answers and solve problems, enjoy responsibilities outside their job descriptions so they can learn and contribute in a variety of ways and like a work culture that is not political, bureaucratic, rigid and stifling. Finally, employees are committed to successfully delivering results! Is Breathe the right Company for everyone? I do not believe any company can say that they are right for all.

-Plans change drastically, different directions, everyone always on different boats.
-Poor Management, they don't know how to control their own staff.
-Lays off happening often

Working at Breathe
|
|
- Great Product.
-Work/life balance is good.
-Friendly and open environment to work in.
-Easy to communicate with other employees.
-Engineers are not Micro-managed, rather trusted to finish their tasks.
|
-Sometimes, there is a quick change in direction on a project.
-Communication from the top down to other employees needs a little work to better understand the direction the company is heading.
