Pros

Accrued PTO pretty quickly, lax job environment (cursing is fine on Slack, for example), loved my teammates. GREAT salary and benefits, which is the only reason I've scored 2 stars instead of 1.

Cons

We were constantly subject to the whims of Jack Dorsey with company-wide ramifications and minimal basis in reality (if you've ever watched Glass Onion, he feels like Ed Norton's character). The different verticals do not communicate with each other, often resulting in duplicative or contradictory work processes. Some teams have superiority complexes over others, which results in a hostile work environment and impedes collaboration. The company is leaning fully into AI without caring about the environmental or people impact (case in point: 4000 people being laid off for an AI tool that still is not working correctly). Upper management won't spend money to license/invest in useful tools, leaving lower agents to rely on Google for sources of truth or outright refusing to serve certain communities because it's too much hassle to accommodate them.

Pros

Great work life balance and culture - really kind and intelligent people.

Cons

* Absent and ineffective senior leadership. They don't understand the product or industry. * The CEO (Brian G) was largely absent for years—many employees rarely saw or heard from him, and some didn’t even realize we had an active CEO. By the time he was pushed out, the damage had already been done and the company had entered a downward spiral. Jack has stepped in, but he’s also largely absent, often more focused on celebrity circles than on running the business. * The company lacks Product Leadership or a clear product vision. Much of the leadership team doesn’t understand the fintech landscape and doesn’t even use the product themselves. After years of mismanagement, many remain in place largely because they’re personally connected to one another. * Most of the leaders have only experience at Block/Cash App and don't understand how to run an org this large, or how to drive growth and retention - they've just been coasting for years without consequences for their repeated failures. They would never survive in a high performing org.
