Pros

Working remotely, Good colleagues. Nice brand name.

Cons

The pay is extremely low, close to minimum wage in Australia. When I brought this issue up to HR, they just laughed and pretty much said deal with it – until the other members grouped up about this, and they only decided to increase the pay by a few dollars. They expect you to do so much for so little. Not worth it. There is extremely low benefits for Australian workers compared to the workers in America. Most of the colleagues are good, however some people were not very friendly at all, and would talk in passive-aggressive tones which made me uncomfortable. I could tell that they were just wearing a mask to seem nice because they were the team leader. The company offers flexible PTO, but when you want to take it, they don't let you? Even when you give them a one-month notice? Their reasoning is “because they want to help you"?? They like to gaslight their employees. How will a company offer flexible paid time off when It's not even flexible?! I did not enjoy my experience at all. I would not recommend Squarespace to anyone.
