Business Outlook
Pros
There are a lot of great engineers at Square. There are also a lot of hard problems to solve. Hence, there are ample learning opportunities. Taking initiative to solve problems is encouraged, so you can fairly easily grow into the role you want. It's a fast paced environment with "real" problems.
Cons
The company has grown a lot quickly. Some projects and teams have been launched and then cut. However, Square's execs do a good job of identifying issues and course-correcting. There's a decent balance between bottom up and top down decision making.
