Pros
I had various opportunities throughout my 4.5+ years with Square, and was promoted multiple times. The culture was great when I started, but quickly declined company-wide. I was really passionate about what I did, and leading our customers to success.
Cons
I was not paid appropriately for my work for most of roles I filled during my time. After years of pouring my blood, sweat, and tears into my work - and not seeing much reward for it - I was laid off with my entire team (lead included). My team and hundreds of others had absolutely no notice we would be impacted before the end of January, when we received an email informing us it would be our last day. 2/9 people on my team kept their jobs: they were the only two white, straight men on the team. Likely unintentional, but not a good look, Square. 6 months prior to the huge layoff, upper management had made vague announcements about upcoming layoffs, but with no specifics. Around that time, my department lost 3 major leaders - one laid off, one quit, and the other found a new job.
