Pros: Very diverse and open-minded culture.

Cons: We do not have a good system for helping employees struggling with mental health.

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 there 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: Rewarding work, with deep technical problems to solve which have a direct impact on the business. A culture of openness and collaboration; the company structure treats employees with respect and rewards individual responsibility and initiative. An 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 processes regularly and is growing rapidly, which can lead to some heartburn as management adjusts. Career growth is very self-driven. No 401k match.
