Pros

Great culture with focus on pair programming and collaboration. People generally upbeat and behind Square's product/mission. Sense of dedication to a great end user experience for merchants.

Cons

Horizontal structure so there's not as much upward mobility within the company. Much of design is in New York so communication back and forth between engineers and design needs improvement.

Pros

Compensation, Benefits, Location, Low processing fees for merchants.

Cons

As a former support representative, the experience in the role was much different than what was initially communicated during the interview process. Talking to merchants was not the issue, in fact I quite enjoyed the conversations here and there with those who genuinely needed help with their business. I had hoped to find more willingness to work as a team, better organization, and more diversity and structure within the company, instead there are immature self centered employees who tend to run trainings and leads who applaud like mindedness of an office culture that thrives on "OMG's!" and ego boosts every other hour. There is a real world out there where people work hard for a living, those who complain about "how come breakfast hasn't arrived at the office?" should perhaps focus more on their actual job than what perks they can take advantage of next.
