Pros

Incredible product Incredible amount of people you can meet Great company culture and extracurriculars Fantastic benefits

Cons

Sales team does not value creativity or entrepreneurship as much as other teams do, and feels those qualities are high-risk. Thus, many creative employees with growth mindsets will leave. Some managers are more process-oriented than results-oriented, which means you are better off making 40 calls a day and bringing in less profit than making 10 calls a day and making more profit. Luckily not the case for every manager. Underpays. The offers I have outside of Square are 2x what Square offers, but it really is a great place to work. (People are often happier than at places that pay more).

Pros

The company takes care of the employees in the position you have.

Cons

Moving around is hard. It's based on who you know and who you sit with at lunch.
