Business outlook
Pros
Work/life balance is very good. Fosters diversity in hiring. Promotes and hosts programs for underrepresented minorities to start on a career in tech. High level of transparency throughout the company. Corporate goals are positive (naturally) and actually drive decisions. Pretty good at self-criticism--we ask ourselves hard questions (or they are asked of us), do our best to answer them, and make appropriate changes based on the answers.
Cons
Growing fast and moving fast, which sometimes means efforts aren't ideally coordinated. Square starts new things and when they don't work as planned, they will stop them, which is disruptive if you're on the new thing.
