What's the Work-Life Balance Like at Square?

What People Are Saying About Square

  • Remote or Hybrid Flexibility: Company materials highlight a distributed-by-design model with employee choice of home, office, or hybrid work, plus an allowance for short international work periods that help align work with personal needs. This structural flexibility has been maintained since the permanent-remote commitment and continues to appear in current role postings.
  • Time Off Access: Flexible PTO for exempt employees, structured PTO for non‑exempt, and paid holidays and sick leave provide space to disconnect. Parental leave and well‑being resources are also described, supporting balance during major life events.
  • Flexible Scheduling: A results‑oriented approach and remote‑first roots allow many roles to arrange hours more flexibly rather than adhere to strict timekeeping. This setup can help keep weeks reasonable when teams and managers use the policies well.
