Pros: It's great getting to work with a very talented team. I love learning something new and getting challenged each and every day. The company is incredibly transparent internally, which is really refreshing. I love building products that empower local merchants. Compared to big tech companies that I've worked at, I feel like Square is a great place where we can win as a team.

Cons: Growing fast and having many offices around the world has come with challenges. The amount of internal communication can be mind-boggling if you don't quickly figure out a system for managing it. If you are the kind of person that needs to know exactly what you'll be working on in two months, then Square isn't for you.

Pros: It is a mission-driven company that is true to the original vision.

Cons: There are not many, to be honest.

Pros: Great work-life balance. Good pay. Good benefits. Nice mission (if we actually paid attention to it).

Cons: - The company had a soul; it's lost now. - Reorg after reorg, but only in the lower levels. - As the title says, "leadership principled" managers are here now. Incompetent people that can't write a freaking test stay because they play the politics game. The more vocal, passionate engineers are rated below expectations because those FAANG managers have an ego. - The company moves like a handicapped turtle, so the competition is eating our lunch. - Sometimes the focus is music, sometimes the focus is crypto, and sometimes it's AI. Square and Cash App lag behind while those others get sorted out.
