Pros

You get paid for your work.

Cons

CEO micromanages everyone, creates pointless rules, adds extra responsibilities without a pay increase, and is never satisfied with a job well done. Doesn't know how to do our job but he still likes to stick his nose into how we do things and complain, even though we know the goal of our position better. Lack of any kind of training on the position, which results in us creating our own rules (those are of course never good in his eyes). Punishes workers for things outside of our control without talking first. One time expected us to do unpaid overtime if someone was late for their shift.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Our CEO is highly involved in day-to-day operations—a hallmark of many founder-led startups. This can lead to fast decision-making and clear direction, but we recognize it can also feel overwhelming to some. As we grow, we’re investing in stronger management layers and clearer training to give team members more room to thrive independently.

Pros

My experience working with Blocksi is positive. The company offers a stable salary with on-time payments and additional vacation days. There are also perks like longer lunch, daily snacks and Friday pizzas. We enjoy a certain degree of autonomy in managing our work, as well as access to extra courses on platforms like Udemy upon request.

Cons

More flexibility for hybrid work would be welcome.
