I love the autonomy. Egos are in check so people collaborate well and aren't cutthroat. Most importantly, I feel a real sense of work-life balance. I do feel an acute lack of inspiration and vision from leadership-it often feels as if we're catching up rather than innovating.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
People are genuinely friendly and seem to care about each other. It's a fun collegial environment.
What are some of the best things about your team?
I like that people have lives outside of work so there is a commitment to work-life balance. And people's creative pursuits inform their work.
What makes you most happy at work?
I have a good degree of autonomy. I am able to take projects and run with them and influence at a high level without too much unnecessary feedback.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The equity here is lacking compared with my other tech companies. But the base is much more generous. I prefer the generous base because you have the money upfront and can invest it as you see fit rather than being beholden to vesting schedules.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
I'd like to separate my manager (who is forward thinking, visionary, and committed in both word and deed to diversity and inclusion_ from the C-suite, who lacks in some of the aforementioned areas. Overall I think Squarespace has a great culture of work life balance and isnt cutthroat.
