Pros

- Some good teammates - Occasional interesting things to work on - 401k match (but no company stock incentives/ownership options)

Cons

- Executives that only care about $, but won't tell you how much money the company makes during the few all hands they hold because you can't be trusted - Mistrust is rampant and throwing people under the bus is a common practice. - Management is worried about losing their own jobs more than taking care of their employees and treating them right. - Developers are treated as a "resource" that costs the company money. - Be ready to be low man on the totem pole no matter how good the work is that you do: seniority rules - This is a 100% technology based product without a CTO. - Ideas/new features come only from product teams with deadlines not attached to actual estimates.

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.
