Worked out for me
Overall, I enjoyed my time at Square. As a software engineer, you are exposed to all kinds of interesting problems in the financial space. The engineering talent was a positive surprise.
The company grew from 2000 to almost 4000 relatively quickly.
Career advancement can depend on the department and manager, although it's a very typical problem at most places I have worked.
Being on-call is expected. The on-call experience is also very team-dependent.
