Great mission, great products, great work environment

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)
