Square NY

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Square is challenging and rewarding. A "choose-your-own-adventure" company where strong people can really shine. The company incentives align well with customers, so you can tell that you are doing the right thing for small business owners. The NY office is small and growing (about 100 people), making it feel more like the early days of the company, with all the benefits of a public company on top.

Cons

The company is growing and changing rapidly, and there is significant demand for engineers to be flexible, including suffering whiplash at times. If you are looking for a steady plug-and-chug sort of job, Square may not be the right place.

Pros

The people in engineering are very nice, and the culture is very nice. There are some very smart people who work there.

Cons

At the end of the day, the work could be more interesting, but that has more to do with the nature of the business.
