      Pros

      -Great entry level position -Benefits are incredible -Lots of training and support -Teams and leaders who genuinely care about you as a person -An established company that still works and feels like a start up -Kitchen filled with snacks (All the La Criox your heart could desire)

      Cons

      -Not a ton of opportunities for internal growth. The opportunities that do come have fierce competition. -Support is not a very engaging job. Hard to maintain motivation long term. -Growth happened so quickly, it felt like there was no structure to support employees who are feeling burned out. Quickly changed from a place that I felt valued at to a typical call center that was more focused on numbers than relationships.

      High quality engineering -> Empowering businesses

      Pros

      Engineering teams at Square have been given the opportunity and the freedom to operate largely independently. There is a strong engineering culture here with great engineering practices and lots of meetups (both internal and external). On top of all these, the payment industry offers a lot of complex business challenges and we are allowed to use cutting edge technologies such as Tensorflow or Dataflow.

      Cons

      Square is at a weird spot: not a huge company with super deep pockets but not a startup either. So we are showing pain that's related to our size. The Payment industry is strongly linked with both domestic and global economies. The competition is fierce, too.

      It's a good place for an entry job not good for long term. Works relaxed enough but can be stressful

      Pros

      The pros are that the company is a pretty well established but still operates like a start up and benefits are good

      Cons

      Super busy management doesn't really listen to employees to often usually passes over others. Each department is only given so many promotions and and it's few and far between.
