Business Outlook

Pros

Square has a strong sense of mission, culture, and values. The STL team is positive, efficient, and engaged, working together to make life easier for small business owners. Our "four corners" truly show up in the work we do each day. There's a really upbeat, friendly feel in the office, which makes it a great place to work each day.

Cons

Things move quickly, and that quick growth can make transparency difficult. Still, Square continues to push to make this a priority.
