What's the Company Culture Like at Squarespace?

Squarespace Employee Perspectives

Squarespace builds experimentation into everyday work by making it easier for teams to test ideas early, learn quickly and improve concepts together. The company’s culture values curiosity and collaborative learning alongside polished execution, giving employees room to explore new approaches without waiting for every idea to be fully formed.

“We work hard to establish a culture where experimentation is part of the work. A big part of that is making it accessible and fast to test ideas. We want teams testing rough ideas earlier, learning from them quickly and improving them collaboratively. Our goal is to reward curiosity and learning as much as we reward beautiful finished products.”

Squarespace Employee Reviews

I get to meet and work with people across a much wider set of products and functions. I’m continuously meeting people from different departments. It’s a very cross-collaborative environment. I’m also able to leverage the experience I’ve gained in my career to much greater effect.

What really attracted me to the role at Squarespace was the opportunity to help grow a real engineering presence in Ireland and be a key part of the company’s future. I knew I’d found the right fit when I met the team and saw how deeply they cared about both the product and the people working on it. It wasn’t just about technical skills; it was about collaboration, impact and making sure that, as the company grows, the engineering culture grows with it.

I enjoy working with like-minded individuals hyperfocused on our shared mission to help our customers grow, thrive and run a successful business with our tools. There is a shared obsession with how we build, market and grow alongside our customers. Every detail is considered.

My favorite part about being an intern at Squarespace has been meeting and getting to know the rest of the intern class through our daily lunches and intern activities. It has been fun to meet people with different interests and backgrounds and experience New York with them!
