Pros
Opportunity to work in a fast-evolving and high-growth industry Fully remote work offered flexibility Some genuinely talented and passionate coworkers The mission of supporting small cannabis businesses is compelling
Cons
Career development was not a priority: No formal reviews, career progression frameworks were introduced but not followed through, and personal growth conversations were rare Organizational instability: Silent layoffs became a monthly occurrence, creating confusion around ownership and responsibilities Product reliability issues: Flagship product routinely failed on the industry's most critical sales days, leaving teams scrambling to recover losses Lack of cross-functional alignment: Minimal feedback loops between customer-facing teams and product leadership, leaving customer pain points unaddressed Remote culture felt performative and disconnected, with minimal genuine engagement or team cohesion Company lacks diversity, particularly in leadership and decision-making roles Leadership operates in silos and feels out of touch with day-to-day challenges Lack of onboarding and training: I had an hour long call with HR on my first day and was told to go figure things out... If that wasn't a sign of things to come :)
