Pros

Square is an awesome place to work right now. The company is still small enough that my work has a major impact on the company, but large enough to provide great benefits and job security. Teams from all different disciplines (engineering, marketing, support, legal, management) work together so well and help each other succeed. Upper management is incredible. They're very open and honest, and nobody is off limits if you have a question. The Atlanta office has a great group of engineers. It has a small company vibe, but we're very connected with SF and work with teams their daily.

Cons

Working on impactful projects can be demanding. Square is growing in a competitive market, and people naturally feel pressure to implement high-quality new features within a tight timeframe.

Pros

I haven't been here long, but everything I've experienced at the company has been positive so far. Everyone I've spoken to from Jack down to my peers is super intelligent and motivated. The products are meaningful and built so that anyone can understand and use them, even people who aren't on the cutting edge of technology. And the office is gorgeous and stacked with perks and amenities.

Cons

Square feels like a little fish in a big pond with bigger companies tackling the same problems, but it feels like our size can be an advantage when it comes to moving quickly and innovating.

Pros

The perks are great (benefits, food, office), but my favorite part of working at Square are my co-workers. I've learned so much in the past year because pretty much everyone I work with is either really experienced or very eager to learn.

Cons

The compensation and benefits aren't as great as larger companies in the bay area (eg: Google, Apple)
