Square is a great place to learn.

Pros

There are a lot of great engineers at Square. There are also a lot of hard problems to solve. Hence, there are ample learning opportunities. Taking initiative to solve problems is encouraged, so you can fairly easily grow into the role you want. It's a fast paced environment with "real" problems.

Cons

The company has grown a lot quickly. Some projects and teams have been launched and then cut. However, Square's execs do a good job of identifying issues and course-correcting. There's a decent balance between bottom up and top down decision making.

Pros

Move fairly quickly here at work. Solve interesting distributed systems problems. I've been at google, other similar startups, and other non-sfbay companies. Square is my favorite because of the real problems we are solving, the focus on design and building the right thing and helping merchants. The upside if we succeed is very big - everyone in the world does commerce daily - we want to make that better. Worked here a long time as an engineer before trying management. Engineering managers are all engineers, which is a very good sign.

Cons

Salary is lower than google, but that's what you'd expect when you trade equity for cash.
