Curious on how people working at Square think the company is doing and whether they enjoy working there?

In particular, is there still a lot of potential for Square to innovate? Create new streams of revenue?

Separately, how is leadership? Promotions? Culture?

I only ask this as a few people I know there are saying it’s kind of a dying company and has messy leadership. Though I wanted to hear from other folk about their thoughts.

    Leadership is definitely messy, but they do their best to listen and care about their employees.

    After our recent stock drop, I think core did a great job of looking out for us by giving the majority of us huge refreshers that brought us close to, back to, or even over our original offers. I personally feel much more motivated and positive after seeing that my employer is looking out for us in this way.

    The people I’ve worked with at SQ (even virtually) have been far nicer and more collaborative than other companies I’ve worked at.

      It was mainly up to manager discretion, so by design there's just as many people happy as there are upset. My refresher was just a few shares short of being the same as my original offer (joined July '21), which now puts me at ~10% above my offer TC. It stopped me from interviewing with other companies.

      My rating was solid and my refresher was short of original TC. I also think the best days of square are behind us. Competition is heating up, Jack is busy tending to shatcoin mining machine and don't see any innovation in the seller org.

    I work on Cash App and would absolutely recommend it here. Lots of interesting work on our roadmap. Really happy with the culture here as well, especially since there's a surprising amount of transparency from leadership.

    • Square was smart enough in expanding their product lines. Payment gateway + small business loans + line of credit + device sales still strong. On top they have cash app for investing and have crypto exposure as well.

      Apple payment will serve a specific portion of the market very well. But running a business goes beyond taking payments. Over the years Square has invested a lot in ensuring it has a comprehensive suite of products for all types of businesses, large and small.

    It’s the best company I’ve worked for. Comp is good. Work is interesting. People are cool. WLB is solid. Career opportunities are there if you want them. People will always find stuff to nit pick and complain about, but I’m not going anywhere for a while.

    I personally love it. We are innovative, have autonomy, and good WLB. Only thing bad was stock price fell, but in comp cycle, they gave most people impacted larger refreshers to make up for it.
