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.

My work significantly impacts the company

Business Outlook

Pros

Square is an awesome place to work right now. The company is still small enough that my work has a major impact on the company, but large enough to provide great benefits and job security. Teams from all different disciplines (engineering, marketing, support, legal, management) work together so well and help each other succeed. Upper management is incredible. They're very open and honest, and nobody is off limits if you have a question. The Atlanta office has a great group of engineers. It has a small company vibe, but we're very connected with SF and work with teams their daily.

Cons

Working on impactful projects can be demanding. Square is growing in a competitive market, and people naturally feel pressure to implement high-quality new features within a tight timeframe.

Pros

I haven't been here long, but everything I've experienced at the company has been positive so far. Everyone I've spoken to from Jack down to my peers is super intelligent and motivated. The products are meaningful and built so that anyone can understand and use them, even people who aren't on the cutting edge of technology. And the office is gorgeous and stacked with perks and amenities.

Cons

Square feels like a little fish in a big pond with bigger companies tackling the same problems, but it feels like our size can be an advantage when it comes to moving quickly and innovating.
