Pros

Square has tons of great people: in engineering, branding, customer support: most parts of the organization, really. Furthermore, there is a culture of working together across organizational boundaries and a collaborative mindset.

Cons

The constant reorgs and uncertainty about career paths and expectations reflect growing pains to be sure, maybe also a cultural/deliberate practice of not getting set in their ways. But it can be hard to understand what you're supposed to do, how long until the next big change, and who is supposed to keep what running as management is thinking of loftier things.

Pros

Square is a company full of talented people that will inspire you to push yourself to be better. The perks are amazing: breakfast, lunch, and dinner 4-5 days per week, fully stocked kitchens, centrally located office in the heart of SF, onsite massage/chiropractor/accupuncture, beautiful offices. Strong executive leadership, exciting products, great coworkers!

Cons

Depending on your product your development cycles might take longer, it is a LARGE company (1,500+) so it moves slower than a start up, publicly traded which means budgets are enforced and new ideas aren't as free flowing as smaller, more agile companies.
