Thanks for your review. We take incredible pride in our inclusive culture and think our people and products are pretty cool too! Like many companies in the tech industry, restructuring at Dutchie was necessary. We had to make some very difficult decisions. At the heart of those decisions is our mission to create safe and easy access to cannabis, and to ensure we are delivering impactful and innovative solutions for our customers.

Pros

- Pay was okay, but that was offset by other factors - It was a cool place at one point - In engineering your experience is shaped by the team you are on - Benefits were pretty good - Unlimited PTO (...but come on, they monitor it, there are limits that are suggested) - remote first - they try to maintain culture with fun meetings, if such a thing exists - if you give them enough you can get promoted pretty quickly

Cons

- Employees talk about salaries, you know when you're being underpaid. I know good engineers who were getting paid less than others that didn't pull their weight. This seemed to be based on favoritism, or the misguided assumption that they had leverage over the employee. - Convos about paybands has been on going for sometime, no release and it seems like they have allowed pay disparities based on performance to continue. - There is a lot of immaturity, I've seen it go both ways from leadership and employees - A lot of politics make it in to the work place, things said that make people uncomfortable in meetings - There is definitely bias & preferential treatment. You need to be careful when giving feedback to certain people. It will either be knocked down, not heard, or explained away on skip levels.

Pros

Great coworkers who are very chill and supportive.

Cons

Company wants to attract top talent while not offering top salaries, 401k and lacks competitive severance package. All of the people on my team are white. All of the software engineers at my level are white. The company over all is very white. Company is slowly tightening communication policies. At all-hands meetings, when there is an opportunity to ask questions, employees are given shallow answers publicly and then told to speak to their managers if they have any more concerns. Ultimately, not resolving any public concerns. CTO has a problem with micromanagement and has been told countless times without correction. Managers have left over it, and still no change or accountability. Ethics in general around working for white ppl who make millions in cannabis while poc sit in prison selling the same product. Company claims it's mission and value driven and CEO claims he's changing the world which very much falls into Silicon Valley saviorism tropes.
