      Good first job

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      My coworkers are great. I really enjoy working with my team and we get along very well. Both my manager & his manager were previous engineering leads that worked up to senior positions, which I really like.

      Cons

      Documentation is not the best and there's a lot of "tribal knowledge". Some growing pains due to recent expansions, ie. a lot of tools that worked while we were smaller aren't working so well now (work in progress to build new ones though).

      Great company doing impactful work

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Mission-driven company with passionate, skilled employees. Salary & equity are attractive; flexible PTO. Remarkable transparency for a public company gives greater context and regular all-hands meetings provide a forum for questions & feedback. Great corporate culture.

      Cons

      Fast growth could lead to problems later in terms of culture, focus shift. Devops model means engineers are stuck with pager duty; inconvenience varies by team. No support yet for 401k matching. Diversity could be better.

      Working at Square

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great mission with clear impact, able to work on products that are used every day by millions, challenging problems for engineers at scale.

      Cons

      Executive vision can feel flip-floppy, company hasn't kept up with market comp rates, Square only has 1/2 of a CEO.
