Pros

The pay and benefits were competitive. I was able to work alongside some very smart people.

Cons

I joined the company in January. People were tense, but I expected that because I joined at a very busy time for the team. My manager was on leave, so I essentially had to train myself. ONE month into my role, I was laid off alongside nearly half of the entire company. What a waste of time. I was gainfully employed and left my prior employer just to be laid off by Block. The leadership team is incredibly toxic. I picked up on some of it when I joined and clearly should not have shrugged it off. The CEO has a ginormous ego. Now, reflecting back, maybe the reason people are so tense was NOT purely because it was busy season. AVOID until they revamp leadership (if they ever do...).

Pros

Remote, decent pay and benefits, a few company sponsored offsites per year. Some good colleagues. Diversity.

Cons

Weak leadership without clarity and vision, constant strategy shifts and restructuring spanning years that causes fatigue, Toxic managers in some teams. Overall the company is becoming a pressure cooker that turns people aggressive towards colleagues.

Pros

Good pay, good work life balance

Cons

Weak middle management and senior leadership, a lot of politics going on rather than shipping the best products that customers need
