Pros

The level of transparency is shocking and inspiring. You're limited by your ambition at Square and given the data/information you need to do what you need to do. Everyone at Square cares about what we're doing. Our mission/purpose is something worth fighting for. Feel surrounded by the smartest people in the world.

Cons

There are too few programs for learning/development/growth. The company needs to invest more in internal growth and mobility.

Pros

Remote Friendly Strong Benefits Reputable Product

Cons

Square has a strong product and reputable reputation throughout the industry. However, Square continues to struggle at the Enterprise level, while more competition enters the SMB/Mid-Market Space. The morale in the sales department continues to be a growing concern. No two quarters are the same when it pertains to quota, while upper management continues to throw darts at a dart board hoping something will stick. Leadership is almost nonexistent and hides behind a screen and continues to make changes. They have the title as a "Manager” but lack experience to make any real impact on the front-line sales team. Most of them check the box and get paid well to sit in meetings all day and relay information to the people below them. In addition, we continue to see questionable hires at the management, director level, and US level. Because of Square's remote friendly policy, it helps when hiring a stronger pool of candidates, but somehow Square has missed the mark.

Pros

Remote, decent pay and benefits, a few company sponsored offsites per year. Some good colleagues. Diversity.

Cons

Weak leadership without clarity and vision, constant strategy shifts and restructuring spanning years that causes fatigue, Toxic managers in some teams. Overall the company is becoming a pressure cooker that turns people aggressive towards colleagues.
