Pros

It is very fun to work for such a startup company. Even though the company grows over 1000+ employee now, you still have lots of chances to make the impacts as an individual. There are also lots of bottom-up ideas become company's strategies. It will be hard to imaging about the company's transparency until you joined. It is a fantastic culture. One last thing i wish to highlight is the Food~ Compared with lots of free cafeteria among those bay area companies, Square's food is super good~!

Cons

Growth too fast is a pain, even the managers in Square are still learning and growing.

Pros

- The work you do is challenging. Many times, the work you take on is something no one else has ever tackled. Whether you deploy a new service or close a new deal, the work that we do here is very rewarding, and many times there is enough visibility within the company where your work will be noticed by many. - It doesn't matter if you're a new employee, employee number 40, or an intern. Everyone has a chance to make a huge impact, and Square enables employees to do so. - The majority of co-workers are former Googlers, Facebookers, etc. They have many experiences and are willing to share their knowledge to anyone at Square. I can't imagine a better place to sharpen my engineering skills as a new grad in the industry. - The hiring bar is structured such that most of the people at Square are not only smart, but they are also personable and social. This makes a great working environment, and the company outings are something to look forward to. - Benefits are amazing (e.g. unlimited vacation, free meals).

Cons

- Deadlines for key projects are sometimes aggressive. - We are growing extremely fast.
