Our culture

Who we are as Dolphins

Our culture is very important to us and plays a large part in what makes us different.

Our core
values:

Love Your Dolphin Life

Elevate The Team

Find A Better Way

Smart Dolphins IT is not your typical office environment. You’ll find poker tables, a big red dog, and way too many references to aquatic mammals. Typically, Dolphins start their day bright and early but we live flexible lives. We value family time and a balanced approach to work. That isn’t to say we don’t work hard, a lot is expected of a Dolphin.

A lot of people are counting on us. We know that even the small choices we make day to day are very important. We all look forward to coming to work and making the absolute best of every day. Keeping a positive attitude (and office!) is a huge part of being a Dolphin.

Ultimately, working for Smart Dolphins means being able to do all the geeky things I would be doing at home anyway. It means getting paid to be myself and do what I love every day.
