Squarespace Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Human first approach - allowing time for personal matters and putting health first

It's a laid back place. You can dress casually. It's also very social.

An inspiring mission and a strong brand

Review from HR Dept

the BEST people as humans I have ever met.

Review from HR Dept

What I find most positive is our team spirit. People help each other by sharing expertise, resolving roadblocks, and acknowledging achievements. Constructive feedback and recognition of collaboration ensure that successes are shared and support ongoing improvement.

Review from Finance Dept

Everyone seems to truly want to help each other, not many companies can upkeep that culture.

Review from Customer Support Dept

An "always willing to help" culture. It never feels as though we are being judged for asking a question or not knowing something

Review from Customer Support Dept

The culture is super welcoming and hardworking. I don't work overtime, and all of the projects are very well organized.

Review from Design Dept

Good product vision and collaborative, friendly work environment.

Review from Engineering Dept

the flexibility and growth within the company

Review from Operations Dept

I enjoy meeting everyone I have met so far, we have people who understand their roles and how they can help

Review from Engineering Dept

I'm surrounded by smart people who care about others and our customers when I come to work.

Review from Product Dept

people all so lovely welcoming

Review from HR Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

a more sustainable long term strategy and ability to execute

Faster decision making would benefit greatly

Review from HR Dept

Maybe don't do things that make everyone want to leave all at once

Review from Engineering Dept

I'd start by seriously reviewing the company's stance regarding WFH. Employees lost free lunches, breakfast, snacks, drinks and we have to battle to obtain somewhat decent hardware to do our work in safe conditions. I believe that good posture is part of "safe conditions".

Review from Engineering Dept

Rewards and compensation need a huge revamp first. Teams need to be given clarity over what outcomes matter and then given autonomy to make it happen, and the Empowered team model is not an answer for that. Culture needs to emphasize hustle and delivery, not bureaucracy and work / life balance.
