Great company with better culture.

Pros

Everyone is dedicated to the goal of "economic empowerment" regardless of the department. No matter how long you've been at the company you feel welcome to express your ideas and do your best work. Much more than your typical "tech" company because of the powerful leadership and wonderful people.

Cons

With lots of different projects going on it's tough to know where the main priorities are as the company continues to row.

Pros

The culture at Square is great. People are extremely friendly and willing to take time out of their days to talk to you, even though the company is rapidly growing and people are busy. There are tons of company-sponsored events for continued education. They place a huge emphasis on interacting with Square customers (sellers), even for engineers, which is not something that I saw at previous jobs. Overall very happy.

Cons

San Francisco office is very large. It's beautiful, but can be overwhelming, like many Tech HQs. The New York office is perfect!

Pros

Catered food and beautiful workplace. Any equipment you need for better efficiency is usually available. Smoothie bar. Coworkers are nice.

Cons

Customer support agents are kind of treated like statistics. Majority of their agents are contract workers who rarely get put on full time.
