Pros

The culture is very inclusive and open. Everybody is onboard and excited to build on Square's growth every day. I am learning new things all time for excellent/bright peers.

Cons

Since its large growth, its probably taking longer than it could do for top-level decisions to permeate to the ground team! Its hard here to have the urge to take time off!

Pros

This company is still fairly new so we all are learning and challenging each other. We success together and fail together as a team. People here are smart, young, and energetic. Very transparency company that we share all information within all teams.

Cons

The company been growing very fast and start to lose connection with people and might lose focus on the key thing. As the company continues to grow faster and bigger, it getting less opportunity to try different things and get your voice out.

Pros

Rewarding work, deep technical problems to solve which have direct impact to the business. Culture of openness and collaboration; company structure treats employees with respect and rewards individual responsibility and initiative. Unbeatable time off and leave policy.

Cons

Can be intense at times; there's a lot of work to be done. Company experiments with improving internal process regularly and is growing rapidly, which can lead to some heartburn as management adjusts. Career growth is very self-driven. No 401k match.
