Business Outlook

Pros

- Growth, Growth, Growth - RSU packages are extremely valuable (4.2X stock growth over 24 months!) - Benefits are nice (unlimited vacation, WFH etc.) - Still a lot of unsolved hard engineering challenges - Strong engineering culture - A mission (economic empowerment) that's worth fighting for - Positive impact on businesses

Cons

- major innovation is getting harder to get to. Case in point introducing something like Square Cash it's challenging now due to inter-dependencies on other teams - certain internal departments are not as strong as engineering - while high level of decentralization is good, lack of strong mandate makes it difficult to push for larger changes

Business Outlook

Pros

- square stock has huge upside - folks are collaborative and friendly— it’s rare you’ll find people who won’t support you in projects - not a stressful environment so long as you hit your quarterly targets (which are achievable) - workload is manageable— once you’ve gotten to a point when your hours are shorter, that means you’re slated for a promotion

Cons

- given the scope of work, salary can be better compared to other competitors - career upside has a lot of potential only if you’re in a major market— if you handle square’s products remotely, don’t expect to get to a high level unless you’re willing to move around
