I became frustrated with Square when I realized that I was drawing things in an attempt to please management/leadership. I wasn't trying to fix things as I thought they should be done. Instead, I was starting to design and think in Square's mindset, not my own. And most times when I voiced my opinion, I was met with conflict. I was constantly prodded to "prove my work" by creating multiple versions of things (which I had done at Apple, but never to the extent I had to at Square).
