I normally do not write reviews, however, all applicants need to be aware of what I consider fundamental flaws in their process and culture. Please look at the amount of negative experiences and judge for yourself whether you want to work for this company. The hiring employees at Square need to remember that they too are only a phone call or meeting away from themselves being job seekers. The process began with an on-line application, followed by a writing sample, followed by a two hour interview. At no time until the end of the interview process was salary discussed. Pros: A phone call to let me know that I was not selected Cons: No salary guidelines up-front--Once discussed it was low pay supplemented by stock that vests over a 4 year schedule.....except, you are taxed up-front on first 25% even though you can't sell it. If you are over 30, I would not suggest that you apply, as the average age is much lower and you will probably not be a good fit for the "culture". If you are looking for any sort of professional dress, please do not apply. One of my "interviewers" wore sweats to the interview. I realize that this is a tech company, but please have some pride in how you are presenting yourself to the general public and those who are looking at working for your company. Free food----Nice, but unless you are going to happy hours to eat your meals, it is a "perk", not a "benefit" to be stressed, along side more traditional things like health. Lack of Simple Courtesy and Professionalism---While two of the group interviews were in person, three were via teleconference. I would have just wanted a head's up that this was going to be the process, before a manager "popped on" to the television and started barking questions in a rude manner, saying that she was already late. I understand from reading the reviews that this was a possibility, however, a simple comment that this was going to happen would have been appreciated.

Basic interview process and historic work experience. Interviewer perfectly pleasant and wanted to understand the rationale behind applying. Application was fairly straightforward and then got put through to telephone interview stage.
