      Square NY

      Software engineer

      Pros

      Square is challenging and rewarding. A "choose-your-own-adventure" company where strong people can really shine. The company incentives align well with customers, so you can tell that you are doing the right thing for small business owners. The NY office is small and growing (about 100 people), making it feel more like the early days of the company, with all the benefits of a public company on top.

      Cons

      The company is growing and changing rapidly, and there is significant demand for engineers to be flexible, including suffering whiplash at times. If you are looking for a steady plug-and-chug sort of job, Square may not be the right place.

      Pros

      I feel so lucky to work here. My team is full of incredibly smart, friendly, funny people - all people I'd want to be friends with outside of work. I feel both challenged and supported in my work. I genuinely trust Jack as a leader as well as the rest of our execs. And of course the perks and office space are wonderful too. Pay feels really fair, even generous (except for holiday time: see below.)

      Cons

      It has been very, very difficult to get time off. Part of this is a function of my team, and I get that someone needs to be around to do the work. However, I think that if you're going to require people to stay and work over holidays, you should be paying them enough them enough to really make it worth it.
