Square offers remote work on a permanent basis. Square announced that employees could continue to work from home even after regional shelter-in-place orders are lifted. This decision reflects the company's commitment to allowing employees to work where they feel most creative and productive. Square's spokesperson emphasized the valuable insights gained over recent weeks about effectively performing roles outside the traditional office setting. While some positions may still require in-office presence, the majority of Square's more than 3,000 employees can choose remote work, enhancing the company's ability to attract talent from a broader geographic area. CEO Jack Dorsey has been a strong proponent of remote work, recognizing its potential to expand the hiring pool and accommodate employees who prefer not to relocate to San Francisco.
