The health insurance has been good for my needs so far, and relatively simple to use. I'm interested to see if it will stay that way with more significant treatments I hope to have next year.
Compared to other jobs I have had in the past, Squarespace leadership is good at being transparent with what is going on with the company, and seem genuinely interested in the growth of their individual employees at all levels.
Being able to solve problems and actually help people out with their issues makes me happy. It's also nice to be able to work from home with my cat chilling next to me as quiet emotional support, that makes me happy as well.
Since I started, everyone on the team has been welcoming and eager to help. I've been on teams where it felt more like a constant competition for favor, but that doesn't seem to be the case at Squarespace. People are genuinely interested in lifting each other up, which is nice to see.
As a LGBT+ individual it can be hard to find workplaces that feel safe and welcoming. It shouldn't need to be a major factor, but it is. Being able to feel safe and like I won't be judged or treated unfairly because of my identity makes it easier to focus on my actual job.
