Pros

Good benefits and it's nice to have been able to work remotely

Cons

There are so many - leadership is really disjointed and it makes VPs and Directors afraid to make decisions. Management likes to point the finger down the chain to those who have little visibility into larger initiatives and somehow get away with it. They are also really afraid to fire anyone who really needed to be let go until the went wild with the layoffs at the end of 2023. At that point, it seemed like some of the best workers I knew were let go, and some of the worst people got to stick around. It was all very confusing to witness.

Good place to work. Hoping things improve, though.

Pros

Remote-first environment Some scheduling flexibility during the day, though it depends on your manager and the nature of your work. Good pay and great benefits. Unlimited PTO for salaried employees

Cons

Current management shakeup, specifically at Square, makes job security uncertain. Difficult to meet people outside your current area. Not sure there is room for growth.

Pros

- Great teams of really talented people- some of the kindest people I've ever worked with and the majority of people at Square work very hard. - Good work life balance - Great benefits - Supportive lead - Work is challenging - Very transparent workplace and leadership

Cons

- For a large company, there are a lot of processes in place that slow things down, way too much red tape (in the name of quality) with no significant ROI - People can also be very passionate which can lead to too many hands in the cookie jar, making stakeholder management challenging. This can highly vary depending on team dynamic and the people working on the project. - I can get a significant pay increase by leaving Square, but I love it here so I've stayed
