Pros

- Smart, thoughtful individual contributors with a drive to deliver for the customer. - empathetic clients and team-level leadership - one of the more enjoyable experiences I've had in an industry despite cannabis being very rapidly changing, with different regulations between states. Primarily due to the product sold and the personalities of the operators in cannabis.

Cons

- out of touch senior leadership with resumes that speak more to juicing every dollar possible out of an opportunity, versus providing any quality experience to customers - they've fired pretty much everyone who knows how to operate the platform - there are some individual contributors / middle managers who have tried to take voluntary severance but can't lest critical functions cease - there's a huge pile of crippling tech debt that they are currently trying to minimize by shedding products and features as fast as possible - spent the last several years burning huge piles of money with poor direction prior to the founder being summarily replaced by current leadership - no process (or desire) for feedback to be received or actioned on from go to market employees or the long tail of their customers (any cannabis company that is not a multi state operator)

Cons

Rapid growth and changing leadership led to lots of friction / morale issues.

Pros

There are talented people across the company, and many employees genuinely care about doing good work and supporting customers. There are opportunities to learn quickly, especially if you are someone who can operate in ambiguity and take on a lot of responsibility.

Cons

The workload is extremely heavy, and many roles feel like you are expected to do the work of 10 different jobs at once. Expectations are often unrealistic, priorities constantly shift, and there is very little structure or support to help employees be successful. Leadership often feels disorganized and disconnected from what employees are dealing with day to day. Communication can be unclear, decisions feel reactive, and employees are often left to figure things out on their own. The constant layoffs create a heavy feeling of instability. There is an ongoing sense of impending doom around when the next round will happen, which makes it hard to feel secure or motivated. When people leave or are laid off, the remaining employees are expected to absorb the extra workload with no meaningful pay adjustment, title change, or additional support. Company culture feels basically nonexistent. Morale is low, there is little sense of community, and the environment feels more reactive than collaborative. Career growth is also extremely limited, with no clear path forward or meaningful investment in internal development.
