Pros

Good WLB.

Interesting problems being solved day-to-day.

Cons

Low pay.

Constant reorgs that make it impossible to plan work long-term.

Lack of clear company direction, constantly playing catch-up with rivals like Toast in the food & beverage space.

Lack of synergy between Square and Cash.

Poorly planned migration projects that constantly distract from real product work.

Disappointing career growth, especially in the last 2 years due to all of the above.

Lack of office culture lowers already low morale.
