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.

Amazing Culture, Brilliant People

Pros

Square has the best workplace culture I've ever experienced. People are friendly, transparent, collaborative, thoughtful and excited to come to work every day. We're working on hard problems and on a passionate mission to help bring economic empowerment through technology. This sounds like a bunch of corporate speak but is truly how a lot of people feel about working here.

Cons

There's definitely a lack of work/life balance if you're motivated and looking to make an impact. It takes some folks longer than usual to ramp up given the complexity of a lot of our products. There's often open disagreement on certain topics which, while healthy long-term and culturally, can sometimes be confusing.

Pros

Unlimited PTO (and people take it too) Great managers Good growth opportunities

Cons

Not a lot of skills training (though it's something they're working on) There's a lot of opportunity for growth, but it's not always a clear path Lots of changes all the time Very young company. You may feel alienated if you're 40+
