Pros

- Possibly the most beautiful office in all of SF - Extremely casual work environment - Everyone you work with is intelligent, nice, and all working to make Square the best company in the world - Since every employee has stock options, you truly feel like an owner of the company - Unlimited PTO is awesome - if you want to take a trip, great, just let your team know and work it out ahead of time. No counting days or hours - FOOD

Cons

- Some people's work-life balance is not great, and while you have the freedom to work the hours you want it certainly feels weird leaving at 5:30 when some people stay hours later than that - Growth in some areas of the company just hasn't been worked out yet. It's important to know a roadmap or at least options for your role, and I'm not sure Square does the best job at communicating that
