Pros

The people are smart, caring, and opinionated. Different teams have very different mentalities with regards to how much they work, what they value, etc. so you can find something for you. In general, most teams have a good work/life balance. People trust you an absolutely insane amount, and notice when you do well. All the company metrics a completely open, including how much every product is being used, where our money is going and coming from, etc. which really helps to feel connected to the company and see your impact. Perks are typical of a tech company like this (meaning they are awesome) - free meals, gym reimbursements, no vacation/hour tracking, etc.

Cons

With lots of talented people you have to work hard to stand out. Can be hectic sometimes with so much going on at once.

Pros

Extremely talented people who are kind, helpful, and clearly passionate about what they do. The work is exciting and fast-paced, but there's no pressure to keep unreasonable work hours.

Cons

The company is growing very quickly, so it's becoming more challenging to maintain complete transparency. It definitely feels too corporate to be a true startup.

Pros

The best thing about working at Square is the great people - the bar is high, so you are only working with the best and brightest. Google is the only other place I have worked with similar quality of engineers. Projects are fluid, so you will be working on small teams with different people over time, and you can move between projects pretty easily.

Cons

Working in a smaller office, there are fewer amenities and options for what to work on.
