Golden Hippo IT Department Employee Reviews
Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
The town halls give me a good feeling about our CEO and the company's direction, I like that Mark puts these up and devotes an hour a week to the employees on a leveled field. This is very important for morale and I often find other teammates speaking about the transparency that he gives.
Review from IT Dept
Theyre honest about our successes and struggles. And they hold themselves accountable for their mistakes instead of redirecting blame. Thats rare.
Review from IT Dept
The leadership team is approachable and encourages communication. Speaking with higher level managers often feels like speaking with a coworker and this helps the fluidity of ideas.
Review from IT Dept
Transparency. GH Leadership goes above and beyond in providing each employee with insight into the health of the company and the decisions being made to preserve and improve such health.
Review from IT Dept
They are approachable and don't get entrenched in old ideas. If something worked in the past but isn't working now, they are willing to change. That's going to be why this company sticks around.

What is the best part about your compensation package?
The ESOP is a great benefit.
Review from IT Dept
The health and dental insurance included in my compensation package have truly improved my life for the better. Not having to worry about these types of expenses does wonders for my physical and mental health.
Review from IT Dept
The ESOP program was such a great gift. It not only gives an incentive to stay, it intrinsically helps me think about the bigger picture.
Review from IT Dept
KPI Bonus, Open-access kitchen (when we aren't on a pandemic lockdown)
Review from IT Dept
Good salary and Healthcare Coverage.
Review from IT Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
A compensation reflective of the effort/hours I work would improve my feeling about our company. We function with a skeleton crew and I often find myself working 20-40% more time than Im supposed to. For context, my compensation level is roughly around 100% of market.
Review from IT Dept
I would feel better about a 401k matching of 1:1 instead of 1:0.5 The workload seems to be much higher than I had expected, especially for the compensation. I've noticed a lot of it is reactive in nature - it may be helpful to instill a proactive work structure in our departments.
Review from IT Dept
It feels like what I'm doing could be multiple full time jobs and I'm consistently having to work late/early
Review from IT Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
I think my team is quite unique in that we have great unison and work well towards the common goal. My manager has focused on creating and harboring an environment structured around collaboration and independent contribution. Also, no micro management which helps make all of us accountable.
Review from IT Dept
There's a diversity of backgrounds that i find stimulating. Ive worked at other places where everyone went to the same 3-4 universities and had the same degrees. My colleagues at GH have so many interesting paths that led them here. I love that.
Review from IT Dept
Open communication, communal cooperation, open to feedback, results driven, friendly, talented
Review from IT Dept
My team was incredibly helpful and insightful throughout my training process. They welcomed me warmly and made sure I had the tools I needed to succeed. Our individual strengths equate to team success and constant growth for each of us.
Review from IT Dept
My team is small, but everyone knows their job and does it well. I also love that I can discuss ideas with them and know I'll get sound feedback.
