Pros

Engineering teams at Square have been given the opportunity and the freedom to operate largely independently. There is a strong engineering culture here with great engineering practices and lots of meetups (both internal and external). On top of all these, the payment industry offers a lot of complex business challenges and we are allowed to use cutting edge technologies such as Tensorflow or Dataflow.

Cons

Square is at a weird spot: not a huge company with super deep pockets but not a startup either. So we are showing pain that's related to our size. The Payment industry is strongly linked with both domestic and global economies. The competition is fierce, too.

Pros

The pros are that the company is a pretty well established but still operates like a start up and benefits are good

Cons

Super busy management doesn't really listen to employees to often usually passes over others. Each department is only given so many promotions and and it's few and far between.
