What People Are Saying About Block

  • Healthcare Strength: Multiple medical, dental (Delta Dental), and vision (VSP) options are paired with Lyra Health offering up to 16 no‑cost therapy or coaching sessions per year for employees and each eligible dependent. Employer HSA contributions cover half of the deductible on the Aetna HSA plan.
  • Parental & Family Support: Paid parental, medical, and caregiving leave are highlighted alongside fertility coverage via Progyny (for Aetna enrollees) and adoption/surrogacy support regardless of medical enrollment. Country guides also show strong local policies, such as up to 26 weeks at 100% base pay for primary caregivers in the UK.
  • Equity Value & Accessibility: Employees participate in ownership through company equity and an ESPP that allows purchase of Block stock at a 15% discount. Materials indicate equity is available for most roles, with guidance to confirm grant cadence and location‑specific terms.
