      Great Place to Coast, not to Innovate

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * People are generally nice and experienced * Great benefits and stocks * Generally easy going performance review cycles * Upper management seem to want to listen, but don't do much or have the power to change things * Career development is good but depends on the team

      Cons

      * All the good folks who actually want to innovate/build have either joined Cash or left the company. Everyone else is complacent * Little sense of ownership and too much bureaucracy making it hard to make an impact * Quality of Project/product management org is poor

      Compliance Org is political nightmare

      Compliance
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.
