      Pros

      Great benefits, free food, nice coworkers

      Cons

      Treated like we're dispensable, room for growth but highly competitive, they don't hire internally as much as they should. Management is sub par. They don't seem to know what they're doing most of the time. Very strict with metrics: must answer a certain number of calls per hour, and at the same time maintain a high level of customer service. They keep track of your metrics every week.

      Great Place to Work

      Pros

      I've been at Square for several months and I have to say that it a great place to work. I was worried that 'Unlimited Vacation' meant no vacation, but they truly believe in work-life balance. Before I applied, I had read some bad reviews on Quora about management and hours, however those are from 2012 when the company was expanding quickly and dealing with growing pains. Since then, they've really addressed those issues and made vast improvements. A lot of smart people here doing big things. Surprised by the level of transparency and trust in employees.

      Cons

      To be honest, the only thing I would like to see is 401k matching. Besides that, the perks and pay are amazing. Excited to see whats next for the company.

      The best

      Pros

      Incredibly smart, productive coworkers. Fun, active office culture. Challenging workload with a ton of support. The best managers I've ever had.

      Cons

      The company is growing really fast, as other reviewers have noted. This can feel sprawling sometimes, although often that feeling is tempered by strong interpersonal relationships and encouragement to grow and share ideas.

      Thanks for your review. While we're growing, we've been able to keep teams small -- which, as you know, helps us move fast and maintain strong interpersonal relationships.
