I have loved my first 90 days - Onboarding Specialist SQUIRE Employee Review

Real Career Growth: I've been at Squire for several years and have had the opportunity to grow and take on new challenges in different parts of the business. The company values internal talent and rewards those who step up. Strong, Values-Driven Culture: There's a deep sense of purpose here. People are passionate about the mission, and that creates an energy you can feel across the company. Transparent Leadership: Leadership does a great job of keeping the team informed about company performance and strategic direction. That level of openness helps foster trust and alignment. Work-Life Balance: There's a healthy respect for boundaries. We work hard, but there’s also space for personal time and flexibility. Competitive Compensation & Perks: The salary, equity, and benefits are strong. Impactful Mission: Working on a product that empowers barbers and barbershops is incredibly rewarding. You can feel the cultural relevance and community impact. Opportunities to Travel: With teammates around the world and hubs in multiple cities, there are chances to collaborate in person and gain global perspective.

Inconsistent Accountability: There are times when underperformance or bad behavior isn't addressed clearly or quickly enough. This can affect team dynamics and trust. Diversity Gaps in Certain Teams: The company was once a strong example of diversity in tech. That’s shifted over time, and some teams—don’t fully reflect the communities we serve. Leadership Gaps: While many leaders are exceptional, a few could show more consistency in how they communicate and treat others. Leadership style varies more than it should.

We have really awesome leaders who deeply care about barbers. The company as a whole really encourages trying new ideas. The benefits are fabulous. Employees don't pay for healthcare at all, for ourselves or out families.

Being a startup, management can get messy. Setting yearly OKRs is a struggle. It feels like we're trying something new every month instead of committing to our original goals. It's a known issue though, and I think they're going to work on improving that this year
