Pluspunten

Competitive comp and good work life balance. Most of the ICs and frontline EMs left are capable and driven people.

Minpunten

Block is sadly a slowly sinking ship. Innovative product launches plateaued 3 years ago and the company has repeatedly floundered when trying to course correct. This is due entirely to poor executive leadership but there hasn't been any turnover on the exec team in years. Instead, Jack has mandated repeated layoffs at the sprint team level. The irony is that he accidentally fired most of the people who were on the bleeding edge of AI adoption.
