Pros

The Square Atlanta office is a hidden gem. You have the ability to work on interesting problems at scale and get great benefits while doing it. The people are top-notch and there are plenty of opportunities for growing your skills.

Cons

The projects available in the Atlanta office are somewhat limited compared to San Francisco. One time we had to go without a supply of single origin coffee beans for the day.

Pros

Fantastic people. Empowering mission. Incentives aligned with our customers. Friendly office. Great corporate culture. It's hard to find Silicon-Valley quality engineering teams at technology-first companies in Atlanta. Square's little office here is a rare find.

Cons

Daily free lunch sometimes lacks interesting vegan options.
