      Perks, but noisy open office

      Pros

      Lots of perks, micro kitchens, coffee barista, smoothie, excellent cafeteria, products with meaning for many people.

      Cons

      Square suffers from the snake oil that is the open office. I'm surrounded by constant noise all in the name of the open office. I sit between two conference rooms, multiple desk pods. The SF office is a former data center so that means when people walk by the floor bounces as it is raised floor with carpet on top. There is no noise insulation in the ceiling so you'll hear noise from the above floor. Sales and customer service teams are answering phones with no sound insulation in between desks. Years of complaining to management and facilities has barely gotten anywhere.
