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
