      Pros

      -Environment. From the office space, food, and company events, Square has a world class office team! -Fast pace -Great co-workers

      Cons

      -The rapid rate at which we grew, while exciting, hurt some of the communication from leadership to the employees. I think it's been fixed, but there are still growing pains here. We're in a quasi-start up world but the growing pains should be expected. It's why you join! -There is also a big mix of super tenured folks and brand new folks. Old habits die hard and some of the changes that have come with growing to our size have made some of the tenured squares upset. I don't really care, but some of the vets are very vocal about it.

      Pros

      I've been really impressed with Square's diversity in hiring in St. Louis, including those that don't have a traditional tech, finance or call center background. I think the benefits are amazing. We are compensated well for overtime or holidays. Customer support at Square allows you to completely connect to Square's mission of making commerce easy. I feel like decisions at Square are made to best impact the end user, not just to make money or take advantage of people.

      Cons

      You really have to be okay with change. The metrics to measure performance were very different when I started, but I think it is finally coming to a place where it will be steady for a while. You will do better at Square if you can be flexible with your shift, overtime, your lead, where you sit, how you're measured, where you're focusing your efforts, etc.
