      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.

      A Stable Company with a Startup Feel

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Freedom to do great work, startup-like environment at a stable public company, competitive pay, good equity, and unlimited/flexible PTO. Located in San Francisco proper too!

      Cons

      The transparency and perks have been gradually decreasing as the company has grown larger. The location in Mid-Market is not as good as if it were in the Financial District or SOMA.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work/life balance is very good. Fosters diversity in hiring. Promotes and hosts programs for underrepresented minorities to start on a career in tech. High level of transparency throughout the company. Corporate goals are positive (naturally) and actually drive decisions. Pretty good at self-criticism--we ask ourselves hard questions (or they are asked of us), do our best to answer them, and make appropriate changes based on the answers.

      Cons

      Growing fast and moving fast, which sometimes means efforts aren't ideally coordinated. Square starts new things and when they don't work as planned, they will stop them, which is disruptive if you're on the new thing.
