Square is a great place to learn.
Square is a great place to learn.
There are a lot of great engineers at Square. There are also a lot of hard problems to solve, hence there are ample learning opportunities. Taking initiative to solve problems is encouraged, so you can fairly easily grow into the role you want. It's a fast-paced environment with "real" problems.
The company has grown a lot quickly. Some projects and teams have been launched and then cut. However, Square's execs do a good job of identifying issues and course-correcting. There's a decent balance between bottom-up and top-down decision-making.
