Pros

Square is at that point where it's big enough to have unique, hard problems but small enough that many otherwise solved issues (data and ml infra, scaling & resiliency, cloud computing etc) still there for you to work on! Engineering talent on average is great so is the eng culture.

Cons

Square is growing rapidly and some of the older dev infrastructure (deployment, visibility, lang support) needs serious work!
