Pros

Best Company for Engineer Managers and Engineers. Money is awesome. Work is minimal. Job security is amazing. Our leader is tight with CEO and part of the original boys club. And does Not throw out jobs from here to offshore for own commision. Product and Engg always at loggerheads and bickering but Engg overrules Product. Other departments can be fully laid off but not us. We can let go tiny part of worker bees but middle and executive Engg managers will be safe. Have seen other Dept Mgrs forever stressed, have mental health issues, constant allergies, going bald, having strokes .... But not us. Company is kind to hire and promote all poor hobos from lower strata of society. Does not matter you have unkempt hair, huge tattoos, torn old shorts, tummies hanging, b'tt crack showing, dogs sitting at your feet in workplace. Smoke rooms are provided for entire teams to sit in freely all day. Lots of snacks for when you get hungry. Get work done and then walk around flapping those flip flops, high AF. Many permanently WFH; smoke weed freely on con-calls. No requirement of corporate language or business casual. From executive management down, expletives and four letter words are "regular" communication. You have freedom to trash the Company all day long and still get raise/be promoted. You decide all tools and languages you will work in. Not sure what the complaints are about some people being laid off last month. Depending on how close to owner you were, you can get severance from 10 years pay to 2 days pay. They are being offered more severance to put good reviews so they do have that.

Cons

What cons? You get great money and benefits, are fed and kept High for free, WFH and save on gas, don't need business casual clothes or shoes, even talk like you are drunken sailors at a bar but no one judges, able to bring dogs and cats and parrots to work and play with them all day, are secure for life. I and everyone should be grateful.

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.
