Pros

Open work atmosphere/culture that emulates the "west coast" mindset----which can be awesome!

Cons

Warning - If you have children, this may not be the company for you. They implement policies that helps them "eliminate" people. Don't let the atmosphere fool you. The policies lack "humanity". The offices in CA and other regions do not utilize the same policies in other cities....beware of that.

Pros

- Passionate, smart, and dedicated co-workers - Opportunity for career growth - Gorgeous offices - Company has a clear sense of culture, and has worked hard on developing the right framework for decision making based on those cultural tenants - Smart and capable leadership (on average) - Inspiring CEO; very often felt like you were a part of something bigger than just "payments"

Cons

- HR department seemed to be in a constant state of disarray; understaffed, overworked, and lacking the right leadership. Not enough HR support for the company as a result. - Often in-fighting amongst senior leadership team, causing drama and disruption to work - CEO split between two jobs (Twitter and Square) meaning decisions took longer than they should, or were caught up in leadership swirl longer than they needed to be.

Pros

- square stock has huge upside - folks are collaborative and friendly— it’s rare you’ll find people who won’t support you in projects - not a stressful environment so long as you hit your quarterly targets (which are achievable) - workload is manageable— once you’ve gotten to a point when your hours are shorter, that means you’re slated for a promotion

Cons

- given the scope of work, salary can be better compared to other competitors - career upside has a lot of potential only if you’re in a major market— if you handle square’s products remotely, don’t expect to get to a high level unless you’re willing to move around
