Pros

The culture at Square is great. People are extremely friendly and willing to take time out of their days to talk to you, even though the company is rapidly growing and people are busy. There are tons of company-sponsored events for continued education. They place a huge emphasis on interacting with Square customers (sellers), even for engineers, which is not something that I saw at previous jobs. Overall very happy.

Cons

San Francisco office is very large. It's beautiful, but can be overwhelming, like many Tech HQs. The New York office is perfect!

Pros

Catered food and beautiful workplace. Any equipment you need for better efficiency is usually available. Smoothie bar. Coworkers are nice.

Cons

Customer support agents are kind of treated like statistics. Majority of their agents are contract workers who rarely get put on full time.

Pros

Square has the best workplace culture I've ever experienced. People are friendly, transparent, collaborative, thoughtful and excited to come to work every day. We're working on hard problems and on a passionate mission to help bring economic empowerment through technology. This sounds like a bunch of corporate speak but is truly how a lot of people feel about working here.

Cons

There's definitely a lack of work/life balance if you're motivated and looking to make an impact. It takes some folks longer than usual to ramp up given the complexity of a lot of our products. There's often open disagreement on certain topics which, while healthy long-term and culturally, can sometimes be confusing.
