Low pay Constant reorgs that make it impossible to plan work long-term Lack of clear company direction, constantly playing catchup with rivals like Toast in food & bev space Lack of synergy between Square and Cash Poorly planned migration projects that constantly distracts from real product work Disappointing career growth, especially in the last 2 years due to all of the above Lack of office culture lowers already low morale
