Incredible Company!

Pros

Square is a company full of talented people that will inspire you to push yourself to be better. The perks are amazing: breakfast, lunch, and dinner 4-5 days per week, fully stocked kitchens, centrally located office in the heart of SF, onsite massage/chiropractor/accupuncture, beautiful offices. Strong executive leadership, exciting products, great coworkers!

Cons

Depending on your product your development cycles might take longer, it is a LARGE company (1,500+) so it moves slower than a start up, publicly traded which means budgets are enforced and new ideas aren't as free flowing as smaller, more agile companies.

Pros

Square offers a great work environment, very competitive salary, and fantastic benefits. And the people here are really down to earth. This is the happiest I've been at a company.

Cons

The only con is that there is no 401k match (though the other benefits more than make up for this).
