Pros

Not much - you make decent pay and are fully remote.

Cons

Directionless company with incredibly weak, racially homogenous leadership. Some of the most atrocious politics I've ever seen in my career - the situation has become even worse since Jack took over as CEO of Square. New CTO is way in over their head and known to disappear for weeks on end. WLB is non-existent post-reorgs.
