      Pros

      Great infrastructure, small teams, very obvious goals.

      Cons

      Kind of weird, directionless management. Not a whole lot of heirarchy but it seems to be more than necessary/effectual.

      Fun, challenging and rewarding

      Pros

      It's great getting to work with a very talented team. I love learning something new and getting challenged each and every day. The company is incredibly transparent internally, which is really refreshing. I love building products that empower local merchants. Compared to big tech companies that I've worked at, I feel like Square is a great place where we can win as a team.

      Cons

      Growing fast and having many offices around the world have come with challenges. The amount of internal communication can be mind boggling if you don't quickly figure out a system for managing it. If you are the kind of person that needs to know exactly what you'll be working on in two month then Square isn't for you.

      Pros

      Beautiful office with amazing perks and benefits. Meaningful work and lots of ownership. Very smart and passionate people that you get to work with. Square succeeds when you succeed. This is a company that will listen to what you are passionate about and try to place you in a role where you will perform to at your full potential.

      Cons

      Salaries are not competitive, but the equity is great. No work life balance, although I don't mind because I am very passionate about my work there.
