      Pros

      You get to work on products and services that impact the most passionate business owners in the world. You can leave your fingerprints on commerce and help an important sector of the global economy flourish.

      Cons

      The company changes focus too often, slowing work through reorgs and leadership shifts. Communication is controlled. You can get a slap on the wrist for speaking your mind, which is counter to said values of transparency. The company touts that it is supportive of women, however, the male to female ratio is abhorrent.

      Pros

      Square has a solid business model and due to all the over inflated PR and backing from pseudo celebrities it will do well financially. Square has a great product and could be a revolutionary and disruptive payment solution if navigated and built with the correct vision. Support is unique and offers great opportunities for project work if you are willing to first be a complacent subordinate that blindly follow orders and is willing to be emotionally and mentally abused by constant berating comments.

      Cons

      -No opportunity to offer independent ideas if they are not approved by management. -Long hours with poor compensation -Constantly reminded of "how lucky" you are to work for the company and threatened to be replaced -Culture of fear -No opportunities for growth -Office politics and favoritism is the norm -CEO was pushed out of Twitter because he did not know how to run a company and he still does -not... -CEO currently asserts his 100% commitment to Square, yet still divides his time between Twitter -and Square -No outlet to voice concerns -Culture of fear -Lack of transparency

      Pros

      - WFH kit is provided for free: laptop, 27" 4K monitor, headset and a $500 stipend to buy anything else you might need (desk, chair, etc) - Reimbursement for electricity and internet up to $125 a month - Wellness program that gives you $75/mo to spend on things like (running shoes, massage gun, etc) - Insane opportunity for growth (promoted to a new team w/ pay raise after 2 months) - 401K with 100% company match (to like $6k or something like that) - very good transparency within the company - I haven't been in the office yet, but I hear there are free snacks and drinks

      Cons

      Legit, there are none so far. Management is so supportive even from a WFH scenario during the pandemic.
