What's the Work-Life Balance Like at Block?
What People Are Saying About Block
-
Remote or Hybrid Flexibility: Block operates remote-first, with most roles allowing employees to choose home, office, or hybrid setups and, where eligible, up to 45 days of international work. This structure enables location autonomy and reduces commute overhead.
-
Time Off Access: U.S. exempt roles use flexible PTO while non-exempt roles have structured paid time off alongside sick leave and holidays. When team norms support it, these options help people step away and recharge.
-
Mental Health Support: Benefits materials highlight access to mental-health resources such as therapy sessions (e.g., via Lyra) and wellness stipends. These programs are positioned to bolster wellbeing alongside day-to-day flexibility.
