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

The talent here is impressive and coworkers were brilliant Good pay, good benefits Good work life balance depending on team

Cons

Wishful thinking bordering on delusion from the top about what AI is capable of. There is no longer clarity on any mission or product other than using AI and being as efficient as possible.
