Top Hat Employee Reviews

Amazing people. Meaningful work. Growth potential. A mission that is noble and important. What more could you ask for?

Working at Top Hat can be fun and rewarding at its best, but hectic and exhausting at its worst. The company is growing quickly which makes burnout a real workplace hazard. Lots of turnover, but the flip side is that there are lots of opportunities to advance if you can stick it out.

It's really great working for a mission driven organization that is making a real impact on higher education. This is a company that has been transforming over the last two years and now really focuses on the employee experience. They also hire super smart talent so co-workers are awesome.

I really enjoy the work that I do on a day-to-day basis. The people here are great to work with. The occasional events that Top Hat has to offer are really great and I hope more occurs in the future to cultivate that company culture (in the hybrid environment). Really love the remote-first approach.

Fast paced and exciting. Can sometimes feel overwhelming, but a ton of opportunity is available. Huge market potential and exciting areas of growth.

Forward thinking. Open, honest and empathetic.

The leadership team has changed drastically over the past three years. Most of them are good leaders. Some are deeply underqualified.

They have brought clarity and alignment to the org. You can talk to any of the execs anytime, slack them book a meeting and they are there for you, seem authentic.

Our leadership team has all A-players who have taken companies from small enterprises to large tech firms. The team is also personable and easy to connect with regardless of your level.

Competitive pay + options keep employees engaged and motivated.

company wide employee stock options that are actually worth something.

HSA - LSA - Options

I love my PTO package and think it's enough. The health benefits and spending accounts coverage is amazing (love how coverage is backdated to your first day of work here). Stock options granted suit my role's value to the organization. The salary fits market level for my role.

The benefits are extensive and there's bi-annual performance reviews/ opportunities to leverage higher pay.

Despite being an integral part of the Revenue team and being a differentiator between other competitors, the Onboarding team is the lowest paid in Revenue. Salaries and compensation are not transparent and the lack of investment in a team that is supposedly extremely valuable is sad.

Extremely talented people at Top Hat. Always looking to learn and grow.

Innovative, creative, dynamic people who really care about their work and their customers.

Always happy to help and answer any questions

They provide great opinions and feedbacks. Great team to toss ideas around. They encourage you to pursue your interests or figure out a new project to work on here. People are willing to help if needed. Also, you are encouraged to share your knowledge, opinions, and ideas with no judgement.

as part of the people team, we care about the wellbeing and day to day lives of our colleagues. We are compassionate and mission driven

Very collaborative environment. Top Hatters support one another.

small team culture is rich and friendly. There's room for growth, to connect colleagues from across the company with one another

I think we have built a good momentum of positivity and positive results.

Transparency of role and compensation

Focus on cultural fit / potential.

the level of scrutiny to ensure they hire top talent and the right people for the role

The interviews are difficult as Top Hat is looking to have the best talent. It is very positive experience, however.

The people I get to work with every day.

My manager and team. The fact that I have lots of autonomy with the work that I do. The remote-first mindset (you can go to the HQ whenever you feel like it).

Helping my colleagues, creating community and engaging events

It is an opportunity to expand and stretch our knowledge and skill at Top Hat while working with an excellent team!
