Pros

We’re empowering the small business owners and entrepreneurs of the world Square has huge growth potential Growth potential means growth opportunities for all of us as employees Square is very efficiently managed without all of the waste of many SF companies. This business knows how to grow All of my coworkers are insanely smart. I’m proud to be a Square

Cons

Very few. The 401k match was capped at 1500 in 2017 but its doubling for 2018. This is still a bit low compared to some other companies but not too bad

Pros

Amazing company culture, we treat each other like family. Square is committed to providing the training and guidance to grow as a professional. They take care of their employees, and everyone works towards the same goal, regardless of what team you're on. Working for Square isn't just rewarding, but fun too. I'm very glad I chose Square.

Cons

I really can't think of any - maybe that the STL office isn't as developed as SF...but the STL office is still very new. It will get there.

Pros

Square is great if you're lifestyle-oriented. You're not expected to work more than 40 hrs / week and most people are out of the office by 5:30 so it's a great place to work for people with kids. They also have an amazing kitchen that feeds you 3 meals a day, and they recently added 401K matching. - Company mission - Transparency - Lifestyle - Square kitchen

Cons

If you're ambitious, Square doesn't have a lot of career growth opportunities. It's something they're working on. Right now, Square is a company you stay at for a couple years and then have to leave if you want more money or increased responsibilities. - Career growth - Compensation - Innovation
