Pros

- Passionate, smart, and dedicated co-workers - Opportunity for career growth - Gorgeous offices - Company has a clear sense of culture, and has worked hard on developing the right framework for decision making based on those cultural tenants - Smart and capable leadership (on average) - Inspiring CEO; very often felt like you were a part of something bigger than just "payments"

Cons

- HR department seemed to be in a constant state of disarray; understaffed, overworked, and lacking the right leadership. Not enough HR support for the company as a result. - Often in-fighting amongst senior leadership team, causing drama and disruption to work - CEO split between two jobs (Twitter and Square) meaning decisions took longer than they should, or were caught up in leadership swirl longer than they needed to be.
