Pros: As a developer specifically, [they have a] great engineering culture. They actually care about things like testing their code, which many startups only give lip service to. Still has a startup-like atmosphere for a pretty old company. Some nice fringe benefits: health/dental/vision 100% covered, lots of cheap-to-free food.

Cons: Low salaries for a public company. Equity compensation for me was equal to about 1 year's salary but vesting over 4 years. Even including the 25% premium, it’s still low for the SF Bay Area. Required engineers to be on-call, at least on my team, but did not properly compensate. I have never worked anywhere that required engineers to be on-call unless it was shortly after a launch. Maybe they would be expected to fix their code if it failed catastrophically, but not like this. Has only half a CEO. In an extremely low-margin, competitive business with no solid plan for turning a profit. It’s the worst-kept secret of both Square and Twitter. Everyone seems to know it except him and the respective boards. Jack needs to try with one, or he will fail with both in my opinion.

Pros: If you like Jack and you want to build products to help small businesses, you might want to work here.

Cons: Dinner was cancelled late last year. Breakfast doesn't go as late as it used to, and lunch (subsidised, not free) is now never served on Friday. The new Oakland office will have no free meals at all. PTO is still unlimited, but now tracked. Seems this company just gets worse and worse.

Pros: Good work-life balance. Remote is nice. People are friendly enough.

Cons: No career growth. Uncompetitive compensation. Stock price never goes up.
