Block
What's the Company Culture Like at Block?
Block Employee Perspectives
I think what’s unique about Block that enables this learning and experimental culture is that we employ great human beings. First and foremost they’re egoless, they’re honest, they’re really intuitive and talented.
From my perspective, there’s an absolute need to be curious, to be hungry, to be pushing yourself. If that’s the basic formula. If you do that over and over again, at a bare minimum, you’re going to help our customers a lot, but you’re also going to learn a ton and grow your career.
