      Pros

      Everyone is awesome! My team is very helpful, they really know what they're doing and they seem to really like it here.

      Cons

      Not really a "work hard, play hard" kind of place. Also, I feel weird because most of them are 30-something. I expect the median age to be younger.

      Great Place to Work

      Pros

      I've been at Square for several months and I have to say that it a great place to work. I was worried that 'Unlimited Vacation' meant no vacation, but they truly believe in work-life balance. Before I applied, I had read some bad reviews on Quora about management and hours, however those are from 2012 when the company was expanding quickly and dealing with growing pains. Since then, they've really addressed those issues and made vast improvements. A lot of smart people here doing big things. Surprised by the level of transparency and trust in employees.

      Cons

      To be honest, the only thing I would like to see is 401k matching. Besides that, the perks and pay are amazing. Excited to see whats next for the company.

      Pros

      Friendly people Challenging work Unlimited opportunity for self-starters who take initiative Great benefits Amazing leadership, from exec to his staff and their reports. Some of the smartest folks I've ever seen in one place with great experience.

      Cons

      Lots of new people starting all the time who have to get used to the fast pace and ownership given to them. The media has no idea how well the company is doing and how much success we're having since we're a private company. Can make us look bad even though the business is very strong.
