Lots of opportunity to grow and learn

Pros

There is constant growth in all aspects of the business which creates a ton of opportunity to grow and learn, both through hands on work and osmosis. The people are outstanding: passionate, driven, intense, but humble, caring, and understanding. It's a fantastic environment and the pay has gotten way better over the past year.

Cons

Lots of challenges that come with growth. Obviously that's why you work at a place like Square, but it does lead to stress.

Pros

Benefits package is amazing! The pay is well above normal for this field. Everyone I work with is so nice and helpful.

Cons

Support is expected to do a lot of work for other departments because they don't talk to customers.

Pros

- Inspiring, positive atmosphere - Brilliant, energetic coworkers - Innovative product that is revolutionizing the way small businesses operate - Great benefits (the food especially) - Pristine office (and many more opening) - Honest CEO that truly cares about the mission - Work/life balance - Great ally networks for those in underrepresented classes -- everyone is supportive of diversity and Square is working hard to bring even more diversity to the workforce - Big emphasis on health and mental wellness - New "career path" initiatives - A lot of internal movement for individuals who do well and express a desire for a role change - Ability to "shadow" other departments to understand different roles

Cons

- Some departments are still new and have constant change - Payment processing companies are historically shady, so sometimes it's hard to earn customer's trust - CEO is focused on both Square and Twitter (not necessarily a con, but of course Square employees would love his focus on just Square)
