Pros

- Lot's of learning opportunities. Self-learning and personal improvement is at the core of Square. Majority of the founding team didn't have background in fintech but self-taught. You can see that it's still encouraged very actively. - We work hard but we are extremely stress free. Culture is really open to failing fast and learning from experiences.

Cons

- While mostly over now, growing pains can still be seen in certain parts of the company - Trying to be David against Goliath (the industry we are trying to disrupt) means a lot of hard work

Pros

Management is really supportive and puts a huge emphasis on how they are there to help you. In addition, my co-workers are all very receptive to questions and are always willing to help. I also really appreciate the culinary team here - the food here is out of this world! The company is really aware about diversity and social issues. The art and design team is really strong here and I love working with beautiful products! It's also really exciting to see the company grow at such a fast rate!

Cons

As a new grad, my team assignment felt random (albeit, I lucked out) and was slightly stressful because a decision was announced and then rescinded.
