      Pros

      The company is full of smart people, who seem overall, pretty down to Earth and approachable. Jack Dorsey would try to make all the Friday meetings, and the company usually was transparent.

      Cons

      The sales team. There were so many changes, from management, to teams, to overall structure, and even the comp structure. They low balled you into getting you in, and then the structure kept changing so you never really made any money.

      Square NY

      Pros

      Square is challenging and rewarding. A "choose-your-own-adventure" company where strong people can really shine. The company incentives align well with customers, so you can tell that you are doing the right thing for small business owners. The NY office is small and growing (about 100 people), making it feel more like the early days of the company, with all the benefits of a public company on top.

      Cons

      The company is growing and changing rapidly, and there is significant demand for engineers to be flexible, including suffering whiplash at times. If you are looking for a steady plug-and-chug sort of job, Square may not be the right place.
