Pros: - Jack is a solid dude.
- Good company values.
- Good benefits.
- Co-workers are generally friendly and helpful.
Cons: - Onboarding really, really sucks.
- Nobody really knows anything, and people are just blindly following processes.
- Write docs for days, weeks, or months, with no time actually spent writing code.
- If you like technology and building things with code, you'll be stuck in a quagmire of documentation, reviews, complicated legacy code nobody dares touch, and robotic processes.
- Nobody has figured out how to build team morale remotely, which is a problem given Square wants to become a fully remote company.
