Great pay, poor culture - werkgeversreview Marketing bij Block.one

Small teams with some great people. Amazing office space in mid downtown Rosslyn. Fantastic health insurance - AETMA International.

none that I can think of.

Incredibly smart colleagues, interesting work at times

This place is exhausting and not well-run. You’ll hear “this is a startup” with frequency, but that’s ultimately a cop out to excuse the real cause, which is poor leadership. The constant changing of priorities, the lack of business vision or strategy means you’ll be killing yourself to meet an impossible deadline only to find out that the initiative is on hold or cancelled altogether. Hours are long with early morning or late night meetings due to timezones. Morale is low, exec teams don’t communicate with the rest of the company, operate from a place of distrust with their teams, and the HK office is running the US without any understanding of US culture or workplace expectations (they wanted the US to go back to the office a month into the pandemic because HK was back in the office, even though the entire country was shut down and numbers were spiking because they didn’t trust their employees to WFH). Work environment was hostile at times. Everyone I know is actively looking for new jobs and attrition is high. People are laid off with frequency. Overall, I do not recommend Block.one and don’t feel confident with the exec team in place that any of this will change.
