Pros

Square places a lot of emphasis on setting every one up for success. You're give all of the tools you need to achieve Square's goals for you.

Cons

In a desire to give each person what they need to achieve the office can sometimes have a distracting atmosphere. Its on you to focus but they offer a lot of different places within the office to work from.

Pros

-It's easy to believe in the mission of economic empowerment, and the excitement and commitment is contagious. -Management is extremely transparent and provides the right balance of guidance and autonomy. -Teams are scrappy and so efforts are impactful and important. -Hard work is recognized and rewarded. -Prioritizes inclusion for women and diversity inclusion. -Tons of opportunity for personal development, including leadership training, SQL classes, health and wellness, and learning and development.

Cons

As the teams grow so quickly, there can be communication gaps across the various functions (Product, Eng, Data Science, Ops).
