      Worthy product and a lot of smart people

      Senior product designer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The offices are beautiful and the perks are great. Your experience at the company depends a lot on what team you're on. If you manage to land on a great team, your experience will be great. Also, the food is amazing.

      Cons

      Persistent feeling of chaos. Re-orgs are constant, political, and don't necessarily create a great end user-product. Qualitative research is oddly undervalued and not encouraged. Boys club atmosphere remains at the top of the design discipline. Difficult to understand a path forward for professional growth as a designer.

      Privileged to have worked here

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Passionate, smart, and dedicated co-workers - Opportunity for career growth - Gorgeous offices - Company has a clear sense of culture, and has worked hard on developing the right framework for decision making based on those cultural tenants - Smart and capable leadership (on average) - Inspiring CEO; very often felt like you were a part of something bigger than just "payments"

      Cons

      - HR department seemed to be in a constant state of disarray; understaffed, overworked, and lacking the right leadership. Not enough HR support for the company as a result. - Often in-fighting amongst senior leadership team, causing drama and disruption to work - CEO split between two jobs (Twitter and Square) meaning decisions took longer than they should, or were caught up in leadership swirl longer than they needed to be.
