Pros
Square is overall a well-oiled machine and no longer feels like a start-up. Culture depends on the org.
Cons
It takes forever to get rid of bad management and employees. Square re-hired some folks that left and came back several layers higher in management, which has caused political divides and a lack of leadership because they didn't have adequate management experience. The Compliance "in-crowd" tends to follow each other from Square to Stripe and now Airbnb. It's not talent - it's who you know.
