Pros

Some of your co-workers will be great people. Dedicated and hard working.

Cons

The rest of your co workers are completely inadequate and will throw you under the bus for their own benefit. Leadership provides no direction and tries to micromanage and control every decision. They work hard to maintain silos between departments. The company has no vision, no goal other than to make the leaders money. In the year and half I have been here, the entire marketing department has been cleared twice, two CTO's, Directors of design, Agile, QA and HR, pretty much the entire product and agile/pm teams have all been let go. Along with multiple developers, designers, and QA. (Along with the rest of HR, some engineers, QA's and Designers quitting.) Most of the time with no explanation or reason or how those decisions affect the future. Everyone here lives in fear. Any day it could be you who is let go next. Many people here are unhappy with the situation. Many people are considering leaving. I definitely am. Yes you get free lunch and snacks and a relaxed atmosphere. But all this is not worth dealing with the big mess that is weed maps. Many people here are unhappy with the situation. Many people are considering leaving. I definitely am. So think twice, when they tell you that its a great place to work and everything is wonderful. Its all smoke and mirrors. When we hired people for our team, I actually felt bad for brining them into such a mess.

Pros

I have nothing but good things to say. I would have stayed in my role, but my wife got a job that required us to move.

Cons

None. The company is well on track for success.

Pros

I’ve read many of the reviews here from both current and former employees, and while I respect everyone’s individual experience, I can only speak to my own. Weedmaps is filled with incredibly smart, passionate people who genuinely care about the industry and the company’s success. It is absolutely a fast-paced and constantly evolving environment, but much of that comes with the nature of the cannabis industry itself. During my interview process, the teams were very transparent about the startup culture, the pace of change, and the level of adaptability expected. If you thrive in dynamic environments, enjoy solving problems creatively, and are comfortable moving quickly, Weedmaps can be a great place to grow. If you prefer highly structured environments with slower change, it may not be the right fit for you.

Cons

One area where I do agree with some of the feedback shared in other reviews is around company-wide communication and visibility from leadership. I would appreciate more insight into what different teams across Weedmaps are working toward, as well as a clearer understanding of the company’s long-term vision and direction. That said, I also understand that open forums can sometimes become overly focused on negativity, which can make productive communication more difficult. I’d still love to see more consistent opportunities for transparent updates and alignment across the organization.
