SquaredUp Reviews

Remote working since 2020. Remote-first environment, remote working is expected and encouraged. Mandatory office days are rare, usually on a yearly basis. Generally comfortable and light on administration. No timesheets or similar issues. Nobody cares much how you work, so long as the work gets done on time and with acceptable levels of quality. Haven't had any issues with management or co-workers. Working experience has been wholly positive there, compared to what I hear about the workplaces of my peers.

The culture is family-like. Everyone is friendly, considerate, and more than willing to help others but also don't shy away from constructive criticism. Just as importantly actively maintaining this culture is a priority for management (especially the CEO) and the company as a whole. In the engineering team the work is interesting and there is room to find your own niche, you aren't limited by a job description or department. Everyone is passionate about technology and on the ball. You're involved in the full life-cycle, including discussing requirements and solutions, not just working through pre-written Jira tickets. I feel like I can make a difference. Management is trustworthy, actively seeks employee feedback on a regular basis and is generally responsive and supportive. There is a strong sense that everyone from your line manager through HR to the management team in general cares about you as a person, not just an employee. The company is flexible around working from home and working hours. It also has a lot of potential with big plans for the future. Company events are enjoyable - not corporate-style 'mandatory fun'.
