Block Employee Reviews

In Compliance Engineering, we work across all product teams and have the space to really understand how new features will improve the lives of customers. Since all data streams to us, we can design systems that solve entire categories of problems, like visualizing money flow, cryptocurrencies, and stopping bad actors from causing harm.

Since joining Block, I’ve found that being myself is not only encouraged, it’s rewarded. My advice to people who are neurodiverse would be to ask for support and let people know how you work best. Knowing I will be heard has opened new doors for my development!

I’m an explorer at heart. Block and our employee communities have allowed me to find boundaries and go beyond them while being supported. Allowing for economic and personal empowerment has allowed me to take my skills further than I’ve imagined. I’ll take these skills with me wherever I go in the future.
