Pros

+ mission driven company + work on tangible products that make a material difference in people's lives + tons of opportunity for career growth and internal mobility + design-emphasis permeates company and culture + great ideas can (and often do) come from anywhere in the company + flat organization with approachable execs + diverse and inclusive workplace + gorgeous office space and generous perks

Cons

- very fast pace can frustrate some that prefer more consistent and predictable work - reorgs can be distracting, but don't think there are more than a typical company of this size and maturity

Pros

Square places a lot of emphasis on setting every one up for success. You're give all of the tools you need to achieve Square's goals for you.

In a desire to give each person what they need to achieve the office can sometimes have a distracting atmosphere. Its on you to focus but they offer a lot of different places within the office to work from.
