Squarespace Employer Reviews

I have the freedom to be creative, and the opportunity to properly execute my ideas. I have all the latest gear, so I can focus on doing what I do best. I don't have to worry about what I'm going to eat, it's catered every day, it's delicious, and my dietary needs are cared for. There's literally nothing stopping me from achieving my goals, except for – more... myself. Plus, there's always a fresh batch of premium coffee in the kitchen.

The entire Squarespace team is an amazing group of talented, intelligent, friendly, and stand-up professionals; and I enjoy working with every one of them.

The office is incredible. Everything is minimal, clean, and high-end. We have the most comfortable chairs, best desks, and tons of natural light. We have the most awesome non-corporate company outings and parties. Everything at Squarespace is done big, and done right.

Management is down-to-earth and truly cares about our well being.

I've learned so much from being in this environment. There's tight deadlines sometimes, and we work hard, but I love what I do. We get to push the boundaries of the web, empowering people to create a more beautiful online world. – less

A collaborator's dream, it's easy to take the initiative to add features or improve the product, easy to find collaborators, and easy to get support and guidance from management. My favorite place to work so far.

Squarespace is full of hard working individuals, who are self-starters and are passionate about the product. Our management teams care about us, and they genuinely interact with employees in all parts of the organization. We have many perks, such as Squarespace branded swag, great lunches, a game room, high quality desks and chairs, and plenty of sunlight – more... beaming through the windows.

We hire great people, and because of this, I learn many new things each day. – less

One of the most rewarding professional experiences of my career. The Squarespace team and executives have done a great job building an environment that rewards hard work and curiosity.

At Squarespace we are all encouraged to innovate, collaborate and push the boundaries of design, the web, and our product. The hours are great, the environment is friendly and exciting, and the location is phenomenal.

The side benefits include daily lunches, typically catered four days a week with freshly prepared, healthy, delicious food, and the – more... caterer is able to accommodate and dietary concerns. There is also a fully stocked kitchen with snacks, sodas, coffee, tea, everything you might need throughout the day.

The health benefits are far and away better than any other company you'll find. Period. The same is true for the financial benefits (401k, life insurance, etc.).

The tools are top of the line, with each employee given free reign to assemble a workstation to suit their needs and preferred set up. The software is cutting edge; if there's new software that will make our product better, try it out! The idea is to make the best things for our customers, without letting anything get in the way.

This is a company that does require you to be self-motivated. If you want to learn to do something, ask around and someone will be able to help you. But if you're the type of person that prefers to have work assigned to you throughout the day, this might not be the best fit. – less

Everyone is smart and interesting. The environment is laid back and fun. Useless people don't tend to stick around long, but everyone else does. There are plenty of serious engineering challenges and none of the ego and nonsense of the bigger tech companies.

Everyone, from product, marketing and support, have a common goal in mind - build a product that improves peoples' lives, and to have fun while doing it.

I've worked at a number of companies and I can honestly say Squarespace is the best ever. I got to work with extremely intelligent and talented people on challenging problems every day. The executive team is very supportive and the work environment is amazing. If you're looking for a great startup in NYC, this is the place. Hands down.

The environment at Squarespace is very comfortable and friendly and the company makes an effort to ensure that everyone has the resources they need to succeed.

I've worked at about 5 companies in my life, and what really sets Squarespace apart is the freedom to innovate. There are no technology preferences set in stone, nor hard deadlines to kill your creative spirit. You're free to create something original, get honest feedback from enthusiastic people around you, and push your changes to the world.

You – more... get to work with some of the most creative minds in NYC, and experience the Squarespace passion for design first-hand.

The office environment is pretty relaxed, with flexible hours and take-when-needed vacation policy. Free lunch and a fully stocked kitchen are icing on the Squarecake.

If you love making websites, this is the place to be! – less

Located in SoHo, Squarespace's headquarters lives up to its name. A spacious, minimalist office with amenities that make you feel comfortable enough to be working at your prime the whole time you're there.

What I learned: Marketing is a science.

I'm on the marketing team and we're constantly discovering new channels to advertise on. We're optimizing – more... the ways we reach our target market while expanding into new ones.

I feel that there's a high level of involvement in each team member of Squarespace. It's great that we hold meetings as a team and as a company which creates transparency.

My co-workers offer advice to me about whichever fields they're in, which helps me see the big picture.

I don't really find the job too difficult, it's challenging due to the volume of work sometimes, but I enjoy it because the co-workers streamline and minimize the workload for me. – less

Profitable since day one, collaborative environment, flexible schedule and vacations, gorgeous office in downtown Manhattan, top-tier health insurance, 401k with company match, daily catered lunch, game room and paid yoga classes in the building.

Best part of the job is I've been writing production code since my first week here. Typical day is 10 to 7 and my co-workers are smart and dedicated. My javascript has improved a lot, and I've learned a lot about the role UI design plays in successful software.
