Pros
Great benefits, including strong equity packages if you can stick it out. You can have good experiences here IF you are on the right team, which may be a gamble.
Cons
Some of the leadership (middle management) is questionable. Some are not qualified, and it can definitely raise an eyebrow! Lots of gaslighting within the people team, they don't listen to people's concerns - even when there is a really good reason to listen. The HR practices aren't in support of employees, they definitely need some help with it comes to employee relations. My experience at Block was the worst I've ever had in my long career. This was because of the team, and how HR chose to respond to the issues. There are other teams that had supportive, genuinely thoughtful, and experienced leadership. But many that done. Managers aren't trained well, they lack empathy, - actually, empathy seemed like a weakness to the leader I worked under. It was so disappointing to see this. It was oppressive, and others left this team as well. This definitely wasn't a fit for me at all. Again, not a reflection of Block as a whole, but be CAREFUL and REALLY use discernment. Please do your due diligence before deciding what team you want to be on (especially in The Talent Org). Otherwise, you're rolling the dice.
