Square Reviews

Pros

-Interactive and enjoyable onboarding process -Tommy in particular was great during the interview and hiring process. He kept me informed during all stages and answered any questions I may have had very quickly. He even responded back to me outside of normal working hours which I greatly appreciated -Amazing work culture (everyone is eager to help, welcoming and incredibly diverse) -Awesome Benefits (great healthcare + wellness plans, unlimited vacation, WFH) -Reachable and transparent leadership team -Lots of opportunities to learn + take on more responsibility

Cons

-WFH during Covid-19 makes it difficult to meet team members in-person -Such a large organization means there is a lot of initial learning to do when trying to figure out proper channels of communication

Pros

- Jack is a solid dude - Good company values - Good benefits - Co-workers generally friendly and helpful

Cons

- On-boarding really, really sucks. - Nobody really knows anything, and people are just blindly following processes. - Write docs for days / weeks / months, no time actually spent writing code. - If you like technology and building things with code, you'll be stuck in a quagmire of documentation, reviews, complicated legacy code nobody dates touch, and robotic processes. - Nobody has figured out how to build team morale remotely, which is a problem given Square wants to become a fully remote company.

Pros

- Plenty of room to grow and excel career wise - The best onboarding experience I've ever had.. honestly, really set the bar! - Great benefits + great culture, everyone's super friendly and always ready to help - WFH - Leadership really cares and pushes you to achieve potential inside and outside work

Cons

- Work life balance during busy seasons/days
