I love it here. I've been working here over a decade and I am proud to see how its grown.
Review from Marketing Dept
What do you like best about the leadership team?
The executive always makes sure they're open to feedback from every level of the company. This feedback is often public, meaning the executive team has very visible accountability and action.
Review from Marketing Dept
The transparency and openness of communication
Review from Marketing Dept
The transparency we receive as employees makes me feel respected and valued as an employee and allows me to trust the company I'm working for and work harder because I have clear goals.
Review from Marketing Dept
Everyone is very easy to talk to, and open to help when needed
Review from Marketing Dept
Employees are given a decent amount of autonomy and a voice in the company.
Review from Marketing Dept
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
This company is a catfish in every way. They reel you in with a stocked kitchen, health benefits, and company outings. After working there you realize you're being EXTREMELY underpaid, there's not much room for growth, and your director doesn't always have knowledge in the department they're directi
Review from Marketing Dept
Caring about employee's growth and properly compensating them for their work. Meditation is cool and all, but it doesn't pay the bills.
Review from Marketing Dept
Reading the room. There have been many instances where employee concerns were simply brushed off and ignored. They were also slow to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and the BLM movement.
Review from Marketing Dept
Evaluate management staff and begin to have manager trainings. Having a clear on how to move up within the company and have clear expectations of what each dept or position can reach as pay is concerned.
Review from Marketing Dept
This company is growing quickly and is quite progressive. I feel some of the women at the company don't feel they are supported, appreciated or like there is room for them to grow at the company. I think leadership could make an effort to change that.
Review from Marketing Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
On top of my financial compensation, we have really good health insurance and dental that are covered by the company. This has helped me save tons of money on medical bills, without lowering my take home pay.
Review from Marketing Dept
I like our medical benefits. I like that I can work from home when I want to....and I LOVE our office gym and fitness classes! ...the large fully stocked kitchen is pretty sweet too....
Review from Marketing Dept
The best part about my compensation package is that it feels truly well-rounded. I’m not only fairly compensated for my work, but I also really value the benefits, especially the health cov
Review from Marketing Dept
Free health insurance is the best part of my compensation package. This is why I believe my company truly cares about me
Review from Marketing Dept
They look each year to make sure the benefits and pay remain competitive
Review from Marketing Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Similar positions are compensated more and benefits don't make up enough for the difference
Review from Marketing Dept
I think compensation hasn't caught up with the current economic climate at all. I am currently working the same job (with more experience) and making less than I made at my full time job 3 years ago.
Review from Marketing Dept
Golden Hippo has a lot of great perks and benefits, but it feels as though these are done to make up for our base salary being so uncompetitive. I would much prefer a higher salary over so many company events and perks.
Review from Marketing Dept
market rates not adjusted often. have to wear multiple hats and not compensated accordingly.
Review from Marketing Dept
I've recently taken on more responsibility thanks to a shift in the company and would like a raise/promotion associated with that responsibility rather than the paltry 4% for good performers that doesn't really track with inflation.
Review from Marketing Dept
What are some of the best things about your team?
The Golden Hippo team is full of people who genuinely show up to work ready to get the best results. It's a very collaborative space where people care about each other and the work that we do.
Review from Marketing Dept
We're all very connected, on the same page and go out of our way for each other no matter the project
Review from Marketing Dept
The support we give each other individually and professionally.
Review from Marketing Dept
We all get along very well and we can count on each other to help if needed
Review from Marketing Dept
My peers and I are able to work together very well, without ever dealing with negative office politics or toxicity. Everyone I work with is very kind and positive to be around.
Review from Marketing Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Maybe a little more training for newer employees
Review from Marketing Dept
Again, leadership is everything. Without experienced and properly trained leaders, our co workers become disgruntled and can be toxic.
Review from Marketing Dept
They need training. Many of the employees are young, some right of of college. They need professional industry training to grow and raise the level of quality.
Review from Marketing Dept
Our team is solid, but with such fast hiring, it's hard to get to know new people. Also, sometimes teams get a bit insular.
Review from Marketing Dept
Be more welcoming to new hires.
Review from Marketing Dept
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Having a manager that really cares about me and my development is the most positive part of the culture. I never feel like my manager has an ulterior motive; she always has my best interest at heart.
Review from Marketing Dept
It feels like leadership genuinely cares about all of us as individuals
Review from Marketing Dept
Everyone is very friendly, warm and nice. I have been in workplaces where there is gossiping and a layer of politics that creates a layer of toxicity. Have yet to experience any of that at GH. People seem to genuinely love their jobs.
Review from Marketing Dept
We all want to help each other succeed
Review from Marketing Dept
We are encouraged to contribute our own ideas, accomplishments are celebrated and employees are kept in the loop on company changes fairly well.
Review from Marketing Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The company needs to spend money on professional tools to do our job. We're often provided with cheap, non industry standard gear. It lowers morale and worse creates wore work and frustration than if we had just been given professional tools to begin with.
Review from Marketing Dept
common goals, clear direction, long term goals, transparency, not masking red flags with new perks or events
Review from Marketing Dept
More management across the board.
Review from Marketing Dept

Review from Marketing Dept
My coworkers are just so supportive and friendly and outgoing. Support facilitates creativity and collaboration. All good stuff.
Review from Marketing Dept
I love our gym classes and the people that go to them
Review from Marketing Dept
I have control over what each day will look like and what projects I get to work on. I have clear goals to work towards and am rewarding for accomplishing those goals.
Review from Marketing Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Our sales tactics are old school and the majority of our budget only goes to the media buyers. Our target demo is mainly baby boomers and if this company wants to last they need to be up to date.
Review from Marketing Dept
Need to hire more people that know how to do the job instead of hiring people only "willing to learn". Too many mistakes and miscommunication is made because of this.
Review from Marketing Dept
Business structure is outdated and the leadership team is failing to recognize that. They continue with their old ways and this could potentially be their downfall unless they do something about it. They need to focus on other aspects of their business, not just the data-driven teams.
Review from Marketing Dept
Get someone incharge of videos that has production experience and understands the value of people with industry experience and why expensive equipment is necessary to attract and keep good talent.
