What People Are Saying About Block

  • Healthcare Strength: Health coverage and mental‑health access are described as comprehensive, with multiple plan options and no‑cost therapy sessions via Lyra. Family‑building benefits support breadth of care alongside core medical, dental, and vision offerings.
  • Equity Value & Accessibility: Equity is a meaningful part of total compensation, complemented by an employee stock purchase plan and a program allowing more cash in lieu of some equity. Feedback suggests these choices improve accessibility and let individuals tailor risk and liquidity.
  • Fair & Transparent Compensation: Compensation is generally considered competitive, with strong offers highlighted in certain technical roles. Publishing location‑based salary zones provides clarity on ranges by geography.
