      Lots of perks, lots of pressure

      Pros

      Coworkers are nice. Lots of food and great health coverage.

      Cons

      Constant emphasis on arbitrary and inaccurate metrics. Always changing procedures with poor communication between departments. Will terminate staff at will which creates a tense atmosphere where you feel expendable.

      A cult built on tokenism, favoritism and lack of awareness of what culture really is. It’s absolutely “Square” for sure.

      Pros

      They pay you. Insurance is $20 PTO is available but not unlimited as it’s pitched to you.

      Cons

      Life work balance is not existent. If you do not suck up then you do not get any opportunities. They say they’re transparent but they truly are not. I’ve seen so many people fired, boxed up and thrown out for things they weren’t aware of and it’s a sad situation. If you work in higher tier jobs then it’s all politics but women are always paid less. What you bring to the table will not matter if they do not like you. You could be bright, bubbly, good attitude but if management doesn’t like you then you’re a target. The best way to enter this job is at your own discretion. It always starts out good but they pile on the work as they see fit. Cliques of entitled people is what you need to worry about most. If they have worked at Square longer than 3 years then you should be worried. Those people are apart of the 1% at Square.
