      Pros

      colleagues are super smart and a pleasure to be around day-in/out, office experience is top-notch (facilities & meals), work schedule is highly flexible, medium-to-long-term upside for the company is enormous - if we execute SQ will be $50B by 2020

      Cons

      doesn't pay in the elite range like FB/Google/etc, JD dual CEO role is not ideal, sense of urgency lacking at times

      Pros

      Company is growing at a healthy clip Work in a vibrant, modern, microservices architecture New stuff is happening all the time! In-house cafeteria serves great meals! Flexibility around taking care of family needs

      Cons

      Pretty much every engineer has to join a pager rotation. No separate ops/test roles. "Engineers" do everything. Lots of interrupt driven work Seems like there are a lot of half finished projects floating around No 401k match yet (promised after certain company wide financial goals are met)

      Pros

      -Environment. From the office space, food, and company events, Square has a world class office team! -Fast pace -Great co-workers

      Cons

      -The rapid rate at which we grew, while exciting, hurt some of the communication from leadership to the employees. I think it's been fixed, but there are still growing pains here. We're in a quasi-start up world but the growing pains should be expected. It's why you join! -There is also a big mix of super tenured folks and brand new folks. Old habits die hard and some of the changes that have come with growing to our size have made some of the tenured squares upset. I don't really care, but some of the vets are very vocal about it.
