Pros

The perks are great (benefits, food, office), but my favorite part of working at Square are my co-workers. I've learned so much in the past year because pretty much everyone I work with is either really experienced or very eager to learn.

Cons

The compensation and benefits aren't as great as larger companies in the bay area (eg: Google, Apple)
