Pros

The culture they create at Block is really something else. Unfortunately it's the best place I've ever worked

Cons

The business decisions the company makes are illogical and Block is often times behind new products, designs and marketing. In face, Block's marketing budget is really low compared to all other ecommerce platforms. The company also heavily sends out emails of inclusiveness and has a clear political stance on modern political issues. The company spend a lot of time and money towards special minority groups and singles out all other groups of people. The company spends too much money on buildings for CS reps who don't even go into the office. The office can hold 200+ people and only 3+ are there at any time. The company has done away from team builders, so to get to know anyone on your team (while working remote) there is none. While the culture was a pro, it is actually on a decline.
