      Awesome company with massive prospects for growth but going through some growing pains.

      Pros

      I work with amazingly talent, super smart people every day and in all functions. The company is truly collaborative and typically doesn't let titles, roles, or politics get in the way of doing the right thing. Intense focus on the customer and taking the moral high ground even in facing of competitors who abuse and mislead their customers (unfortunately, effectively, at times).

      Cons

      The company is going through some major growing pains. The board of directors is a superstar cast (Mary Meeker, Vinod Kohsla, Roelof Botha, Jack Dorsey, and Larry Summers) and the executive management team is very strong, especially in Products (Gokul R), Business (Francoise B), and Finance (Sarah F).

      Pros

      I came from Facebook, where everything was starting to feel "big company." Working at Square has been really refreshing. The environment is fast paced and there is a sense of urgency among all teams. There is autonomy to work on projects that you find interesting. Hackathon is actually Hack Week - a great time to work on whatever you find interesting. Everyone I work with is incredibly smart and I'm learning something new every day.

      Cons

      Speaking about my team and the teams I work with, we are still working on operational efficiency. Sometimes, pulling a data set and getting set up to run analysis takes more time than it would at a mature company. But that's a trade-off I'm willing to take.
