Business Outlook

Pros

- Excellent company mission - Truly smart people - Office in SF is amazing - Fun and hardworking environment

Cons

- Pay is quite a bit lower than AE roles at other companies, stock helps but pay is still lower than industry average - The team you are on is everything at Square. Some teams are amazing, have great culture and work as a whole unit. Others (like the one I was on) can be very passive aggressive, overly competitive, and downright unethical at times. - Company is not yet set up to grow at the pace it is growing. Square wants to move to mid-market and enterprise but both the product and people involved are not robust enough to make it a reality.
