Pros

- Inspiring, positive atmosphere - Brilliant, energetic coworkers - Innovative product that is revolutionizing the way small businesses operate - Great benefits (the food especially) - Pristine office (and many more opening) - Honest CEO that truly cares about the mission - Work/life balance - Great ally networks for those in underrepresented classes -- everyone is supportive of diversity and Square is working hard to bring even more diversity to the workforce - Big emphasis on health and mental wellness - New "career path" initiatives - A lot of internal movement for individuals who do well and express a desire for a role change - Ability to "shadow" other departments to understand different roles

Cons

- Some departments are still new and have constant change - Payment processing companies are historically shady, so sometimes it's hard to earn customer's trust - CEO is focused on both Square and Twitter (not necessarily a con, but of course Square employees would love his focus on just Square)

Pros

Square is the best company I have ever worked for. They provide clear direction, shared goals / vision and have a very positive rewards and benefits structure. The leadership team has obvious passion for the company goals, which is shared and socialized amongst staff.

Cons

No cons to think of.

Pros

The Square Atlanta office is a hidden gem. You have the ability to work on interesting problems at scale and get great benefits while doing it. The people are top-notch and there are plenty of opportunities for growing your skills.

Cons

The projects available in the Atlanta office are somewhat limited compared to San Francisco. One time we had to go without a supply of single origin coffee beans for the day.
