Pros

The work we get to do everyday is really rewarding, it's amazing to think about the impact you're making everyday in people's lives. Leadership is strong as well -- everyone on the leadership team really cares about the people, product, customers. Finally, the work-life balance is pretty good.

Cons

Being in the spotlight means we get good press and bad press; hard to control the bad (often blown out) press. The company is also still figuring out it's processes -- so there's some trial and error as we've grown.

- Collaboration: as an engineer I got to work with an incredibly diverse set of people within the company. - Mission and purpose: the company is on an great mission, and we believe in it. - Intellectually challenging and engaging: I was challenged daily and have learnt a lot from people around me. - Open culture: even entry level employees are entrusted with an incredible amount of information and responsibility. - Great food: I have eaten at almost all large tech companies in the Valley and Square is one of the best.

Pros

The company onboarding process is unparalleled. Excited to work in a brand new sales team with extremely talent, intelligent individuals. Room for growth and leadership. Entrepreneurial environment

Cons

The sales team is brand new, still ironing out a lot of kinks and team is changing a lot. Location in SF is not the best.
