Pros

Good engineers and collaborative folks.

Cons

The leadership at Block has moved away from its original values, pivoting toward a high-pressure environment defined by aggressive PIPs and same-day layoffs. While the company is adopting the 'ruthless efficiency' model of firms like Meta, the total compensation (TC) remains uncompetitive by comparison. It is no longer the employee-centric workplace it used to be, and the rewards don't currently match the risks

Pros

Office provides free snacks, decent pay, and some coworkers are nice

Cons

Strategy/Operations makes changes without any communication or providing any value to the company. We over hired field sales which is losing the company millions but continue to double down on it. Feedback is not welcome. Training is insufficient. Sales leadership is obsolete with little support or tooling to do the job.

Pros

Nothing decent to say about Square, Block, Inc.

Cons

Square, Block, Inc. engages in systematic censorship of whistleblowers and merchant complaints, suppressing legitimate concerns about fraud, account termination, and civil rights violations. I authored a fact-based consumer review detailing misconduct, and it was removed by Trustpilot on Square’s demand — violating my First Amendment right to free speech and petition. Square’s internal teams ignored my legal correspondence, even as I filed a certified UCC-3 lien (NY DOS Filing #202507238372594) documenting their indebtedness, breach of commercial contract, and statutory banking violations. I have also lodged claims under state and federal securities laws for material nondisclosures and retaliatory deplatforming. Business owners, especially those from historically marginalized communities, beware: Square perpetuates a form of digital Jim Crow redlining, quietly targeting entrepreneurs with arbitrary account freezes and platform silencing.
