Pros: Open source focused and focused in AI.

Cons: Weird company, weird processes, weird product.

Pros: This stuff matters: Square is working to make it easier for small, indie coffee shops to exist and thrive. If you want to work on stuff that matters in a real way to real people, Square will certainly give you that. Shared mission: We're working hard to make commerce easy, and everybody in the company feels this in their work. Fantastic leadership: The senior leadership here at Square is extraordinary. They keep us looking forward while empowering people to stand up and make big decisions that affect the future of the company. No ceiling: Your growth at Square is only limited by your own ambition. It's easy to move around the company and make an impact in whatever way you are able. Great office space: I'm a sucker for good design, and this office exemplifies that. This place embodies the agile work methodology, allowing you to easily collaborate when you need to, while giving you plenty of quiet spots to get some heads-down work done. Transparency: Any young entrepreneur should be chomping at the bit to work here. The opportunity to get an inside look at all of the financials and strategic decision-making at a company of this size cannot be overstated.

Cons: - Maintaining a good work-life balance is on you. There will never be a shortage of work, but there is definitely a culture of reasonable individual expectations. - Compensation is just a touch below market, but I feel this gap is more than adequately addressed via the equity that is offered.

Pros: Really good work-life balance, nice people.

Cons: dev experience, inefficient to build into.
