The company has seriously declined over the past two years
Good WLB.
Interesting problems being solved day-to-day.
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.
