Block was my first internship and I honestly loved my time there. I had a mentor who was unbelievably helpful and hands-on, and never left me feeling like I was struggling alone. My manager was super supportive as well, and everyone I met was always friendly and willing to help.

Career growth, culture and purpose of the company which is always standing by the small businesses in their growth especially during tough tomes like covid are what make me stay at Square.

Block was a great place to learn and develop in a way that I couldn’t in traditional finance. People are empowered to do and try new things and if it wasn’t for a block, I would be where I am today.

Manager was amazing and cared about my career growth. Learned a lot from peers
