      Compliance Org is political nightmare

      Pros

      Square is overall a well-oiled machine and no longer feels like a start-up. Culture depends on the org.

      Cons

      It takes forever to get rid of bad management and employees. Square re-hired some folks that left and came back several layers higher in management, which has caused political divides and a lack of leadership because they didn't have adequate management experience. The Compliance "in-crowd" tends to follow each other from Square to Stripe and now Airbnb. It's not talent - it's who you know.

      Pros

      The Square Atlanta office is a hidden gem. You have the ability to work on interesting problems at scale and get great benefits while doing it. The people are top-notch and there are plenty of opportunities for growing your skills.

      Cons

      The projects available in the Atlanta office are somewhat limited compared to San Francisco. One time we had to go without a supply of single origin coffee beans for the day.

      Pros

      -Managers care about you as a person, rather than just your production -Lots of room for personal growth -Open and honest culture -Real attempts to create a merit-based system -Makes me believe in trust and teamwork -Fosters a growth mindset mentality that is applicable to virtually any scenario -Opportunities for continued education (coding classes offered, continual training, career development included during work scheduled and paid work hours) -Teammates are smart, capable, friendly, and wonderfully quirky -Healthy snacks and beverages being so readily available really helps cut corners and time while prepping for work

      Cons

      -I can see how there could be a perceived lack of transparency if not keeping up with emails, not being proactive in seeking opportunities, or not communicating questions or complaints to your manager -Open work environment fosters collaboration, but can be noisy sometimes
