What People Are Saying About Block

  • Healthcare Strength: Health coverage includes multiple Aetna and Kaiser medical options with prescription coverage, Delta Dental, VSP, and gender‑affirming care, plus Lyra offering up to 16 no‑cost sessions per year for employees and eligible dependents. HSA enrollees also receive a company contribution equal to half the annual deductible, reinforcing depth of coverage.
  • Parental & Family Support: Family‑building and leave benefits are emphasized with paid parental leave (e.g., 16 weeks fully paid reported), fertility support via Progyny for Aetna enrollees, and adoption/surrogacy assistance regardless of medical enrollment. These elements indicate inclusive support for diverse family needs.
  • Equity Value & Accessibility: Ownership opportunities are highlighted through equity grants and an Employee Stock Purchase Plan with a 15% discount. These programs add meaningful wealth‑building beyond base pay.
