Pros

Colleagues were great, were always willing to help each other, worked together as a team and supported each other.

Cons

Every day was a constant battle with my direct line manager who came into the business as a bully, this feeling was and still is replicated by the rest of the team but unfortunately upper management and HR don't appear to care. Block don't care about your work/life balance. On call is necessary for some roles and this on call involves monitoring alerts, emails, calls etc, this results in sleepless nights and definitely goes beyond on call, they need a full 24x7 shift as this is how it is being sold to customers. They recently stopped certain teams from working from home, removing any flexibility that the role had.

Pros

Working at Block has truly changed my life. From the very beginning, the company trusted me to deliver, providing an environment where I was encouraged to push myself to my limits, take risks and learn from my mistakes in a safe, supportive space. The opportunities, skills, and experience I've gained here are unparalleled, and I can confidently say this is one of the best places to work, grow, and excel in your career. Block has given me the chance to work alongside incredibly talented and highly skilled professionals. If you’re looking to learn from the best and be part of an inspiring, fast-paced team, I highly recommend it. The growth I experienced early on in my tech career has been nothing short of mega! If you’re someone who thrives in a dynamic environment where no two days are the same, Block is the place for you. It’s exciting, challenging, and truly an incredible place to build a career and make a difference.

Nothing to call out here.
