Pros

- Square is an inspiring, mission-driven company. - I love our customers and hearing firsthand how we're building something that makes their lives easier and better. - We have all of the stability and perks of a big company but still retain the passion and spirit of a startup. We keep teams small so we can move quickly and get things done! - We have an extremely strong leadership team with leaders from diverse backgrounds and experience. I'm also impressed with the brilliant female talent we've been able to attract and retain (especially when the rest of the valley seems to struggle with this). - Jack is the real deal! He truly wants to build the best business for his customers and his employees and does so with humility, confidence and raw smarts. - I've been here for many years and I still learn every day.

Cons

The company has learned and grown a lot over the years - no cons at the moment!
